Hi Dr. Dave, Henry et all...
Does the solar wind radiate?
(I pulled this from sp.foundations).

I went to look into the solar wind...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_wind
Number's like 10^9 kg/s and 600 km/s
are quoted, (other ref's are available to
those figures) much of it consisting of p+
and e- particles.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. I searched
the literature on the subject, for some sort
of radiate EMR spectral output that I would
think could provide information about the
"dipoles" that would be expected to form
in the solar wind, well beyond the sun, and
wasn't able to find any yet.
I thought we might use that to emprically enter
data into the problem.

Right, that's why I'm looking at the solar wind.

I'm unsure about "inertia" for example, suppose
two electrons possess differing speeds like,
(-) ==========> electron "a"
(-)====> electron "b"
The Electro-potential energy (ab/r) varies, but
it may not necessarily emit radiation.
