EXOTHERMIC MIGRATION OF CHARGED PARTICLES

[The author recently place this posting onto a scientific forum in hopes for greater feedback. Late this month of September 2009, a constructive although laconic response signaled some interest and reasoning upon the subject. The magic of such response was a cessation of the customary obtuse assault by the duty gatekeeper there, and an amelioration of such counterproductive administrations of standard dogma. It is strange that although most of the universe is composed of charged particles, a fearsome stigma is quickly assigned to anyone speaking of electrical influence upon cosmic architecture.]

One broadly accepted concept in electronics is Michael Faraday’s notion that the entire charge placed onto a conductive body is to be found upon its outer surface. I agree with that notion and would like to suggest a mind-experiment for others who share that understanding.

An electrically isolated bucket capturing negatively charged rainwater falling from the sky would store all excess electrons upon its outer conductive surface. They would have migrated there from within due to mutual repulsion. Hence, charged particles would have traveled from where they had been to where they were going. Therefore the entire physical host could be viewed as a body that presented traction for those particles to accomplish an exothermic excursion. As a result, rainwater within the bucket’s interior would have become electrically neutralized. Once all the particle motion is completed, electricity is more of a matter about matter than about energy. If, under these conditions, an ionization event were to separate an electron from a molecule of water, the cloven molecule would present an attraction between its erstwhile pieces: traction toward reunification. But if particle separation were sufficient to render traction of reunification subordinate to systemic traction of the host upon the electron, then the electron would move toward the outer surface of the bucket, leaving a particle of positive charge behind. Fundamental to basic principles of electricity, existing systemic traction of the host would propagate or move the positive particle into opposite direction from that of the electron, hence it would seek out the electrical center of the bucket of rainwater.

Since excursions of either charged particle brought on by ionization would be exothermic, no pent-up forces such as those involved with a charged capacitor become involved to destine any reversal of the migrations described above. Ongoing repetitions of such phenomena represent transfer processes that change micro electric formations (atoms) to stable macro electric formations (including some that we see almost every day or night).
