Hi I have calculated an approximation of the energy emitted from a charged gas molecule when it undergoes collision with another gas molecule. The acceleration is intense under such circumstances and I calculated the value for mono atomic (approximate but simple) Nitrogen using Larmors formula P=e^2*a^2/(6*Pi*€0*c^3) For acceleration a I assumed that the acceleration takes place over two atomic radii thus a= v^2/r where v is the mean speed in air and and atomic van der Waals radius r = 155 pm. Collision time t=2r/v is used to get the entire enery per collision according to W=P*t
This was found to be according to Google's calculation http://www.google.se/search?hl=en&q=(electron+charge)^2*(435+m/s)^3/((155*10^-12+meters)*3*pi*electric+constant*c^3))&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= <http://www.google.se/search?hl=en&q=(electron+charge)^2*(435+m/s)^3/((155*10^-12+meters)*3*pi*electric+constant*c^3))&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=> = 8*10^-36 Joule per collision. In ordinary air there are usually 9 billion collisions per second making the power emitted from one molecule 7*10^-26 Watts. One mole 6*10^23 of fully charged air would then lose one milliwatt equivalent to half an hour to lower the temperatue one Kelvin. Apparently this effect is totally negligible. Or did I do something wrong?
