Here is a reference which I came across elsewhere earlier: Field Mill.
I have been looking for a news article I read recently about the stream of particles from the sun, but cannot find it. It does tie in a bit with what has been mentioned in that charged particles do stream from the sun. I was interested in that the article mentioned that the heavier positive charges progress well but the electrons, which are lighter, tend to get pulled back. The net effect being a cloud of electrons near the sun. I was thinking 'space charge' (hence the solar system is a big valve
). Having not found that I mention a reference here: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucappst/solarwind.htm which mentions it but obviously beyond this thread so I will not attempt to go futher.
