Metallic hydrogen and planet Jupiter Kimmo Huosionmaa How the planet could be warmer than the star, what it orbits? The answer is that the wind of the planet would make it warmer than it sun, or the radiation, what sun sends to it. The thing is visible in the planet Jupiter, what the higher atmosphere is about -150 degrees Celsius, but the winds are blowing about 450 kilometers per hour. And this wind causes the effect, where the entire planet would rotate in the very high speed.
This rotation of this gas giant causes extreme powerful magnet field, and the lightning inside will give brightness, but the magnet field is the main reason for the radiation of Jupiter and the radiation, what comes from this planet is so powerful, that it almost destroyed the electronics of Pioneer 10 space probe. The 1970's technology was not very sensitive, and this tells, that the magnetic forces of that planet are extremely high, and there is something, what we cannot ever face on Earth.
Inside the Jupiter is the probably metallic or crystal form of hydrogen, what is an extremely hard material. Because Jupiter is not like Earth, and it is formed of gas, there is no strict surface of the planet, and in the level, where the gas is in the form of water, the pressure would be ten times of Earth. In the layer of the metallic would be two million times of the Earth, and the liquid hydrogen-metal is forming the extreme magnet field of Jupiter. The liquid metal hydrogen is a very interesting material because it's so light, and it can be used in the extreme powerful generators, but there is a couple of problems with that. There should not found any oxygen or the metallic hydrogen would detonate.
The metallic hydrogen can be formed by using hydrogen ions, what would be pressured by using magnet field. This kind of generators can look like toruses, what locating in the space. Electricity will send to the Earth by using a very high power radio transmissions, what would transfer electricity to the electric network wireless. The idea is that that metallic hydrogen would rotate around the metal heart by using magnet field little bit like in the fusion reactors, and the thing will forming very high voltage of electricity. But the problems to create this kind of things makes this kind of projects staying in the imagination.
