MONTY CHILDS TO REPORT ON SAFIRE AT NPA GATHERING, JULY 10-13 A highlight of the upcoming annual meeting of the Natural Philosophy Alliance, at the University of Maryland, will be an update of the SAFIRE Project (Stellar Atmospheric Function in Regulation Experiment), now well into its conceptual planning. SAFIRE is a carefully constructed experiment to produce anomalous features of the Sun in the laboratory. Can a Solellus, or electrically-driven, miniature Sun in the laboratory answer the longstanding mysteries of the solar atmosphere? Monty and his research group are confident that the technology is now available to rigorously test the electric Sun hypothesis. This conference presentation will cover the project plan from engineering and design through construction, commissioning, and testing. It will also include a review of prior experiments (some publicized, some not publicized) on which much of the team’s confidence is based. With reliable funding in hand, the project is expected to advance rapidly in coming months, and the outcome of the experiment could have far-reaching implications for the space sciences. The conference will also include the first stages of filming of a documentary on the SAFIRE Project.
