Rotating Dipole Effect a New Theory for the Origin of the Earth's Magnetic Field

Authors: Low Yuen Wang
Comments: 6 pages

How the earth(and also stars and other planets) produces its magnetic field is a longstanding puzzle. Many theories has been proposed for the explanation of the earth's magnetic field. The current believe is that earth's magnetic field is generated by "dynamo effect". Since 1999, "dynamo effect" sodium experiments has been able to spontaneously produced magnetic field1-2. But "dynamo theory" is very complex, after so many years of research, a working model "remains elusive". Here I proposed that the magnetic field of the earth is caused by "rotating dipole effect" -- In a rotating material, only those electrons with the magnetic dipole moments that are parallel to the axis of rotation can avoid changing direction relative to the galaxy and relative to the surrounding electrons or atoms at the same time, thus more electron's magnetic dipole moments are pointing to the direction parallel to the axis of rotation. If the material is paramagnetic, then measurable magnetic field may be created. This new theory is consistent with all the observed phenomena and can make prediction of what material can produced magnetic field and what material can not.

An Interpretation of an Angular Momentum Density of Circularly Polarized Light Beams

Authors: Radi I. Khrapko
Comments: recovered from sciprint.org

Reasons are presented against considering an moment of momentum flux to be a spin flux. A spin tensor is proposed to describe spin of a photon in the frame of the classical electrodynamics.

Experimental Determination of Angular Momentum Flux Density in a Circularly Polarized Light Beam

Authors: Radi I. Khrapko
Comments: recovered from sciprint.org

An interference experiment is proposed to answer a troubling question, how is angular momentum distributed over a circularly polarized light beam with plane phase front.
