Abstract
Due to the daily rotation of the Earth the lower layers of earth's atmosphere are continuously crossed by horizontal lines of the geomagnetic field. For this reason, near the earth's surface there is an upward-directed Lorentz force. Under the action of this force the positively charged objects move upward and the negative charges down. As a result, this force can increase the lift of flying objects that have a positive charge: water vapor, birds, insects, airplanes and space rockets. In addition, the action of the upward directed Lorentz force blocks the deflection of the racket's body in the horizontal direction, that is, ensures its equilibrium.
Highlights
There is data showing that near the earth's surface there is a force under which the positive charges move upward and the negative charges down [1]
This can be seen (Figure 1), the objects on the Earth's surface or in earth's atmosphere cross the horizontal lines of the geomagnetic field during such movement. In such conditions on the Earth's surface and in the near-earth atmosphere appears as a Lorentz force FL, directed upwards (1): FL = q·[v, B], where: q – electric charge, v – the linear speed of earth’s surface, B – geomagnetic induction [4]. The presence of this force explains the positive charge of the upper atmosphere and negative charge to the earth's surface, and the polarization of the clouds: it is known that the lower part of a typical cloud has a negative charge and upper – positive charge (Figure 2) [1]
Boiling water and hot steam It is known that hot steam has a positive charge [2, 5]
Summary
There is data showing that near the earth's surface there is a force under which the positive charges move upward and the negative charges down [1]. It was shown earlier [2, 3] that described force is the Lorenz force that appears due to the daily rotation of the Earth relative to the geomagnetic field (Figure 1). In such conditions on the Earth's surface and in the near-earth atmosphere appears as a Lorentz force FL, directed upwards (1): FL = q·[v, B], where: q – electric charge, v – the linear speed of earth’s surface, B – geomagnetic induction [4].
