Here you posit a capacitor in a plasma environment. Since plasma
is an excellent electrical conductor, your hypothetical
capacitor
would be shorted out.
In a sequential and partial sense: yes. Let me explain it better.
An earthly plasma in a low density environment is conductive, but
there is no law or logic that demands that dense plasmas are
necessarily conductive in all vectors, especially in a combination
of magnetic field and strong gravity field. It's all about the
necessity for "charge carriers". Without a mobile charge carrier,
there can be no conductivity in the restrained vector.
To balance any hypothetical charge-bias which develops between
core and corona - one might logically suspect that this cannot be
accomplished by electrons at all. We know that electrons, of even
extremely high potential are captured by a modest magnetic field.
Protons are captured less strongly by the sun's combination of
magnetic and gravity fields - and consequently will only partially
lose the outward vector of mobility - because the solar fields are
not strong enough to completely accomplish the stagnation of
proton charge mobility.
Therefore there should indeed exist this constant and sequential
but partial "shorting" of the solar-capacitor. This process is
visible to us on earth in the "arcing" of solar flares in which a
jet of protons exit the surface, then extend out millions of miles
in an arc, and then curve back into the core, having left a small
portion of protons in the corona which indeed does "short" some
portion of the accumulated charge-bias.
I suspect that once the sequential charge-bias rebuilds back to a
certain level - a flare is inevitable and what we see in solar
astronomy is an indication of this very thing - the "attempt" to
balance the charge differential between core and corona over time.
Furthermore (and thanks for the segue) one might even suggest - or
add to the previous round of speculation - that it is the
"shorting process" itself - which is the Hy- maker ! so to speak -
as it is never more than a temporary and sequential thing,
following which charge-bias will immediately increases again; And
that this ongoing process could be the precise mechanism for
hydrino-hydride formation in one-step.
This is the important detail which I believe that Mills has
missed: that there is probably Zero stability regime in the corona
for the uncharged hydrino, and that only the hydrino-hydride of
near maximum entropy will be survivable in that environment.
Otherwise, with upwards to 40% of the solar energy content coming
from hydrino formation, demanding gigaton per second of hydrino
manufacture, earth would have been totally swamped with them over
geologic time, and there would almost no "normal" hydrogen at all
in earthbound chemistry - only hydrinos.
Anyone can do the basic "ballpark" math for this and it is clear -
IF - they supply that much energy (to account for the neutrino
deficit - which is likely) - THEN - there MUST be an inherent
mechanism which keeps most hydrinos out of the earthly
environment, or else they would be: not just evident but would
have swamped us with nothing but hydrinos after 5 billion years.
