Episode 11: The Electrical Earth. [0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=5) Now, we must understand that the Earth is not a dead rock hurling through space at unimaginable speeds. [0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=11) Instead, it is a living, breathing electrical machine and the single source of a self-perpetuating power generator. [0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=18) The sun pumps one point eight billion amps of current into the ionosphere, the upper layer of our atmosphere. [0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=26) This creates a voltage of two hundred and forty thousand to five hundred thousand volts between the ionosphere and the ground. [0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=33) The atmosphere acts as a giant capacitor storing this electrical energy. [0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=37) But the real power comes from the oceans. [0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=39) As tides move seawater through Earth's magnetic field, they generate electricity just as a wire moving through a magnetic field generates current. [0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=48) Every kilometer of coastline produces about twenty-five thousand amps. [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=52) Multiply it by the one point one six million kilometers of global coastline, and you get a theoretical maximum of twenty-nine billion amps. [1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=60) The reason the twenty-nine billion amps from the ocean doesn't create a trillion volt atmosphere is because the ocean is grounded to the lithosphere, the crust of the earth. [1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=70) Unlike the clouds which lift charge high into the sky to create a potential difference, the ocean currents are already at the bottom of the circuit. [1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=78) They are moving the ground rather than charging the top plate of the capacitor. [1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=82) During a severe geomagnetic storm, the power being dumped into the polar ionosphere can exceed one thousand gigawatts. [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=90) This electricity flows through the ground itself following natural conductors, mineral veins, aquifers, fault lines. [1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=97) Ancient peoples knew these as ley lines, and they built their sacred sites at the intersections where the current is strongest. [1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=105) These intersections are spaced about seventy-two harmonic length units apart, another harmonic of the seventy-two year cycle. [1:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=112) The current returns to the sun through the auroras, those beautiful light shows at the poles. [1:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=118) The magnetic field focuses the current at the north from the south, creating the stunning curtains of light we call the northern and southern lights, a dance of energies. [2:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=128) The dance changes color based on which wire in the atmosphere the current is hitting. [2:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=134) Green is current hitting oxygen at lower altitudes. [2:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=138) Red is the current hitting oxygen at very high altitudes. [2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=141) Blue and purple, current hitting nitrogen. [2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=145) This is not mysticism. This is measurable, verifiable electrical engineering on a planetary scale. [2:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6GUmJP0OQ6FR/en/earth-s-electrical-system-oceans-ionosphere-and-auroras?t=151) The Earth is a machine, and we are part of its harmonic circuit.
