      Not super late at all. While it's true that astronomers have been watching this develop, there is no science to predict the exact nature of CME's or when they will occur. Even now, knowing discharges have happened, the scientific community is not able to predict how strongly we will be affected, beyond warning us to expect increased auroras. It is possible this will be the end of civilization, but not very likely.
      The reason the telegraphs blew out in the 1800's, is because they have extremely long but fairly thin wires that soak up all that radiation from the Sun and deliver it to the communication stations where it burns out all the sensitive equipment. On this occasion it will be the power grid that soaks up that radiation along with any other long lines like telephone. The power grid is far more robust than ancient telegraph lines and designed to anticipate CME's. Anything can be overwhelmed so in the end, we'll just have to wait and see. I doubt we'll even notice.

    No mention of how having solar & battery storage can allow you to still create power, especially if it’s portable. Every one should have a portable power station of atleast 250wh and atleast a 100 watt solar panel for emergencies, stored in your garage- much less likely to be damaged by a solar storm which would predominately affect transformers. If you get a 1kWh battery/inverter portable station, you can make a few miles a day for your EV or run your house basic needs. Also keep in mind many EV charging stations have their own independent battery storage for power in case of emergencies. The main incentive being to buy and store excess solar energy in the afternoon and sell it to customers at peak demand in the evening.

    More specifically, these solar storms eject charged particles in large amounts in coronal mass ejections (CMEs). If they hit the Earth's magnetic field, electromagnetic pulses are generated (EMPs). EMPs can be devastating because they will induce an electric current in anything that can conduct electricity. If you have a large enough CME, you could see large scale EMP's occur which would knock out power generation and transmission equipment.

      It got me thinking. In really large wind turbines, big substations, with tons of copper wire coils, if voltages are high enough to ionize the air and short out transformer windings, they might all melt.

Wind turbines work in arctic winter, but they chose cheaper option that works in room temperatures only.... etc..

    Bill is not explaining this well right now.
    1) The sun is PLASMA not gas. Extremely dense plasma that swirls and sloshes like liquid.
    2) These swirling pools and currents of highly charged and magnetic plasma have an enormously powerful magnetic field ( 0.4 Tesla, refrigerator magnets 0.0001 Tesla) that sloshes with the plasma.
    The fields wind up like a spring and SNAP with the power of hundreds of H-bxxbs, hurling the super-heated particles closest to the surface out at a fraction of light speed.
    If the timing is right the Earth passes through these clouds and it's magnetosphere smashes into the particles slowing them down and radiating the energy they lose as visible light. edit: This is electomagnetic induction at work, the same thing that lets your phones charge from a coil wirelessly, and is used as brakes for rollercoasters, and mag-lev trains as well as military rail-gxns.
    Lucky for us we have the O² layer and magnetosphere to stop these or all our electronics would be fried to hell, and cancer would be much more common.

    • @SacredOwl
      @SacredOwl 4 месяца назад

      The induction has nothing to do with particles. The particles can't fry our devices. GIC occurs from the movement of the magnetic field. It is the magnetic field that causes the the induction, it doesn't block it. Once a storm occurs, a Forbush minimum then blocks energetic particles, mostly secondaries like muons. Why you think Bill should start talking about this level of detail to explain simple north and south glow plasma is beyond me.

    • @SacredOwl
      @SacredOwl 4 месяца назад +1

      One more thing, regardless of the induced current, our devices are NEVER in danger. There is not enough and never will be enough induced current to dry such small devices, otherwise our cells would pop like diodes in the microwave. Again explaining in a different way, the magnetic field is disrupted and induces current aka GIC or ground induced current. This current is actually very low, but power lines are hundreds of miles, so it adds up to a lot. Small devices do not have the surface area to absorb a great enough charge. As far as that charged plasma hitting, it disrupts our magnetic field and that movement of a magnetic field as you know creates and sends the induced current to the ground. (Freely and Unblocked, opposite of what you said).

Most people recognize him and wouldn't get much more from an actual scientist they don't know and who happens to talk like an academic paper.
      Also, did Mr. Nye say anything wrong? If he didn't, and people learned something, mission accomplished.

He's right on everything else but I don't think it will really interfere with shortwave radio until it really gets up there, it did knockout channel 12 through 15, your mid high frequency, lower end and higher end is still working pretty well? Anyone else having issues I would like to hear it in the reply section so I can plan ahead of time it is a pretty interestin, also the reason why those telegraphs went up in 1800 was because they did not realize power supplies without that converter box, today you will need a converter box to run those, which would convert the capability for the telegraph to work properly in these situations, it'll blow my house up, if I was to plug the CB into the outlet they didn't have converter boxes.
