meemoe_ukWell here’s the link to get Monty’s 1st results paper on SAFIRE. Its free but you have to give them your name and address, and then click on a small text download link. takes 3 minutes.
I have a copy so I could upload it and make a direct link under fair use if you want.
The paper doesn’t describe coronal fusion, but it does quantitatively describe corona structure, behaviour, and plasma hydrogen chemistry. Monty said they had evidence for fusion and that’s what he’s working on now.

You’re right, the coronal fusion model is not yet quantitative. Its currently only empirical and qualitative. But gotta start somewhere.
>There are certainly things in EU that seem to contradict much of what we know of electromagnetism. If the Sun and other stars are positively charged, why don’t they get neutralized? … EU seems to hypothesize a flow of current indefinitely outward from a point
Leif Svalgaard seemed fixated on this same impression of EU and he could never get over it when I tried to discuss EU with him years ago. I don’t know where this idea originates, but its absurd. It may have originated within the gravity-centric cosmology community as a straw-man way of dismissing EU theory. Also EU is a popular front for plasma cosmology so it has a problem with circulating weak ideas that are appealing but not scientifically plausible.
The sun sun’s corona has electrical capacitance in the form of plasma double layers, so it can be charged with an input voltage. No need to violate laws of charge conservation, just need to ask where the input voltage comes from. Broadly the proposed answer is energy comes from coronal nuclear fusion, the electric field comes from plasmoid decay en-mass in the corona, but I’m not clear on the mechanism. I’m looking forward to Monty’s next batch of safire results in June this year.
