Removed this paragraph since I don't think it is true. Dynamos generate static dipole magentic fields.

The internal electrical convection currents are similar to those, involving water vapor, within a thunderstorm. These currents are called telluric currents. The magnetic field move these static currents, though the fields alternate constantly from pole to pole. The geomagnetic fields lead the telluric currents, usually.

[edit] Dynamo on a larger scale

With respect to energy generation couldn't a dynamo-based "appropriate technology" (see Wiki entry on this) be even better than "solar" (at least for many situations), from the standpoint that "the sun wouldn't even need to shine" (not all the time) to generate some electrical current with a "dynamo" device. The "bicycle hub" units are OK, but I think the scale could be larger and the device would remain "appropriate". Peace, Ken Hausle - kjh-es.com. 12:44 pm (eastern) Charlotte, NC. KenH

[edit] References to georeactor theory

Dr. Herndon's theories regarding the existance of a georeactor are significant and should be included in this topic. Wikipedia can benefit greatly by contributions from the best experts in the field. These contributions should not be construed by editors as 'self promotion'. Dr. Herndon has a detailed understanding in the field of geophysics and has collaborated with many of the top scientists in the field. DAEdgerley Ph.D. (talk) 05:45, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
