In this Uranium gas centrifuge, Uranium Oxide contains two isotopes of Uranium: U-235 and U-238. U-235 weighs slightly less than U-238. By exploiting this weight difference, you can separate the U-235 and the U-238. The first step is to react the uranium with hydrofluoric acid, an extremely powerful acid. After several steps, you create the gas uranium hexafluoride. Now that the uranium is in a gaseous form, it is easier to work with. You can put the gas into a centrifuge and spin it up. The centrifuge creates a force thousands of times more powerful than the force of gravity. Because the U-238 atoms are slightly heavier than the U-235 atoms, they tend to move out toward the walls of the centrifuge. The U-235 atoms tend to stay more toward the center of the centrifuge. science.howstuffworks.com...

Newtons law of gravity suggests a heavy dense core.
Potters don't use centrifugal force, they use their fingers.
Just like using a potter’s wheel to make a clay bowl, centrifugal forces come into effect which causes an object in rotation to experience an outward force away from its center of rotation.
Have you ever seen a potter make a hollow sphere? They don't just let the wheel do it. www.youtube.com...
In some objects this spin then can have a hollowing effect.
Except, if the Earth is hollow, what is producing the magnetic field?
What if the motion of the magnetic field is acting like a gas centrifuge causing H2O in the Earths center to separate into Hydrogen and Oxygen gases as the magnetic field passes down through the earth while the Earth itself is spinning?
Except that nothing collects at the center of rotation of a centrifuge. The collection bottles are at the outer portions of the machine. An, oh yes, The Earth is a sphere. Centrifuges aren't.
Since the U-235 atoms tend to stay more towards the center of the spin maybe, just maybe, Hydrogen (a very light gas like Helium) and Oxygen are being separated and collecting in a swirling ball at the center of the Earth.
The pressure is caused by mass, not weight. Mass doesn't "go" anywhere.
How is there an immense weight in the core when it is spinning at 1000 miles an hour? The weight would go out away from the center.

The pressure is caused by mass, not weight. Mass doesn't "go" anywhere. The core is not spinning at 1,000 mph. At the equator an object on the surface is moving about that fast but at the boundary of the mantle and the outer core the speed of rotation (at the equator) is about 200 mph
Yes, I saw your original post. Lets look at it again:
from my original post:
H2O is molecularly bonded hydrogen and oxygen. It doesn't matter how fast you spin it, it remains H2O.
What if the motion of the magnetic field is acting like a gas centrifuge causing H2O in the Earths center to separate into Hydrogen and Oxygen gases as the magnetic field passes down through the earth while the Earth itself is spinning?
A centrifuge is not a sphere but the Earth is. There is no force which would cause there to be a swirling ball at the center. At best, you would get cylindrical sections of varying concentrations of materials separated by relative mass. Assuming hydrogen was somehow separated from other elements you would have a core (sort of like an apple core) of hydrogen of decreasing (not increasing) density and increasing concentration the closer to the axis of rotation you get. www.cockeyed.com...
Since the U-235 atoms tend to stay more towards the center of the spin maybe, just maybe, Hydrogen (a very light gas like Helium) and Oxygen are being separated and collecting in a swirling ball at the center of the Earth.
Hydrogen needs oxygen to burn. Remember? You've removed the oxygen from your swirling ball of hydrogen.
All you would need then is to ignite it.
Metallic hydrogen requires extreme pressure to form. Your hypothesis (not quite a theory) provides for no such pressures. Indeed, even with the conventional theory of Earth's internal structure there is not nearly enough pressure at the Earth's core to produce metallic hydrogen.
I'm thinking Metallic hydrogen is the source. Maybe, maybe not, I'm still looking into this. It's a theory remember.
Yes. And it provides a "centrifugal" force (no such thing, really) of about 0.0007g. How much acceleration was required to separate U235? Your source says:
200 Mph, oh is that all?
The centrifuge creates a force thousands of times more powerful than the force of gravity.

Hydrogen as we know it is clear and it isn't a very good conductor of electricity, but at extremely high pressures it may turn into an opaque metallic material with low electrical resistance.
Scientists first theorized that hydrogen could transform into a metallic substance back in 1935, and they have been trying to make the exotic material ever since. In theory, it could be used as a rocket fuel. Astronomers believe that this substance can be found in bulk beneath the surfaces of large planets like Saturn and Jupiter.
The hydrogen atoms become electrically conductive when they are under about 220 gigapascals of pressure, explained Mikhail Eremets and Ivan Troyan in a report to the journal Nature Materials. That's very similar to the pressure that you would experience within the inner layers of Saturn or the mantle of Jupiter, and ten times higher pressure than what's found at the bottom of the Mariana trench.
A magnetic field will not dissociate water molecules.
The force used to separates the h20 is our magnetic field, not the centrifuge.
How? How does a magnetic feild act as a centrifuge? The Earth's magnetic field doesn't really rotate very fast but even if it did it would have no effect on oxygen or hydrogen molecule or atoms.
What I'm suggesting is the magnetism is doing the same process as the centrifuge does as the magnetism passes through the Earth.
Your centrifuge separates them. O2 has a much higher molecular weight than H and there are other elements in between. Oxygen would be separated from hydrogen by layers of other elements.
This separation would leave both hydrogen and oxygen, so how did i leave out the oxygen needed for combustion?
They gasses wouldn't "gravitate" toward the center at all. Also not a ball. Also under low pressure.
Thank you for pointing out that the gases wouldn't gravitate completely to the center. I didn't know that. That still doesn't mean it's not there. Just bigger than I originally allowed.
Sort of, under the proper conditions. But that's sort of moot since your hypothesis does not provide a source of any pressure in the hydrogen core at all. The Earth being hollow and all.
They claim to have created Metallic Hydrogen it at 220 Gpa and the Earths inner core is thought to be between 330-360 Gpa.

Evidently, large rotational forces can do exactly that:

Interesting. A bit more complex than a rotating magnetic field though.
But the point was not about subjecting individual molecules to rotational forces, it was about spinning them in a gas centrifuge.
Not really. It's a bipolar field, which means it is poloidal rather than toroidal.
Our magnetic field is a torus.
No. It's a cylinder.
The image of a gas centrifuge sure looks like it creates a torus
Two vortices do not make a torus but in any case there are no vortices at either pole.
A vortex at the north pole, a vortex at the south pole...that would make a torus.
