What you have to do--according to the thread title--is show us that all criticism of the electric sun 'model' has been answered. This you have not done, because you haven't answered those pesky questions. Where's the circuit? Where are the other components? Where is the evidence of current flow? 'Not exhibiting inflows at this moment', eh? How then does the Sun maintain its charge? Where is the evidence for that charge? If the sun is an anode how come it's emitting both electrons and protons? The answers provided to these questions by your authorities are unconvincing to say the least.
In a recent series of papers using Wind data Podesta et al. (JGR2006, ApJ2007) showed that the power spectral index for solar wind velocity fluctuations in the inertial range at 1 AU is approximately -3/2. The inertial range is the part of the spectrum where energy is transported without dissipation to smaller scales where it heats the background plasma. That transport dynamic dictates the rate of in situ heating of the plasma. The Podesta result stands in contrast to numerous magnetic field results showing -5/3 spectral indices and suggests significant changes in the theories that describe energy transport in the inertial range. Although there exists a broad range of predictions and simulations addressing the multi-dimensional nature and spectral form of turbulent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power spectra, there are no predictions at present that embrace this dichotomy. To make matters worse, there are several theories that predict either of the two different spectral indices, but those predictions always apply to both magnetic and velocity spectra uniformly. Spectra may vary as a function of length scale or orientation relative to the mean interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), but there is no established theory of turbulence that predicts different spectra for the two fields.
The one-sided aspect of the fluctuations is a natural consequence of the transverse nature of Alfvénic fluctuations in which |B| is ~ constant. If one considers the simple case of an underlying radial field directed outward from (inward toward) the Sun, fluctuations in either or both of the transverse field components necessarily force Br to become less positive (less negative) so as to keep |B| ~ constant...
This one-sided aspect of Alfvénic fluctuations in the solar wind suggests that conclusions derived from statistical analyses of the fluctuations, including determinations of the field direction underlying them, that assume the fluctuations in all field components are relative to average values need to be re-examined.

But to humor you, I'll answer them yet again.... and again and again and again until you get it.
Electrons flow in to the Sun, transported along Birkeland currents, from the galaxy, then follow this circuit.
The analogy is that the body of the Sun serves as the emitter of a pnp junction... the "emitter" action is that of a very high voltage positive anode within the surrounding galactic medium. This is a circuit.
When we consider the Sun, however, a spherical geometry exists - with the sun at the center. The cross-section becomes an imaginary sphere... Imagine a spherical surface of large radius...
Positive ions leave the Sun and electrons enter the Sun.
...a net positive current leaving the Sun. This constitutes a plasma discharge analogous in every way (except size) to those that have been observed in electrical plasma laboratories for decades.
The solar wind is composed of protons, positively charged particles that continuously accelerate away from the Sun, a clear indicator of an electric field presence.
The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the sun. It consists mostly of electrons and protons with energies usually between 10 and 100 eV. Source
The ACE/SWEPAM mission detected electron depletion in the solar wind due to “backstreaming electrons”...
...flowing into the Sun from the surrounding space.
(1) the one-sided strahl* consists of solar electrons that are focused into a field-aligned beam as they propagate outward from the Sun, (2) beyond the peak in the field enhancement scattering from the strahl and/or heating (for example, by a shock) produces a more tenuous, sunward-directed population of electrons... that is isotropic over the sunward facing hemisphere along the field line, and (3) adiabatic motion governs the subsequent evolution of the halo population.
proof of a net charge imbalance, hence proof of an electric current.

You are attempting to debunk the EU theory by comparing it to the standard model... just spouting what is accepted as "mainstream physics"... theoretical stuff that probably doesn't even exist.
The reason why I am starting to lean towards the EU model is because they can actually design experiments that test what they are observing for the most part, and also because their predictions are way more accurate then the astrophysics people.
You're right, it's all a fairytale, just like I said before. Obviously any attempt to explain physical phenomena in terms of physics is illegitimate of its very nature. Only magical explanations can possibly be valid.

Its not true that we have no evidence. We have - its gravitational influence.
They dont believe the fantasy, they are still searching for proof.
And the search has paid of. The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search team reported this weekend simultaneously at Fermilab in Batavia, IL and at SLAC in California that their detectors had recorded 2 WIMP (that's Weakly Interacting Massive Particle) events. So much for "fantasy."

'From the galaxy'? Great. Where in the galaxy? Where's the cathode? Where are the other circuit components? Identify them. Point them out.
As for 'this circuit', the link is to a PDF file several pages long. Stop spamming us with this garbage. Show us a circuit diagram. Make sure all the components are identified and the connexions between them clearly drawn.
NASA's IBEX (Interstellar Boundary Explorer) spacecraft has made the first all-sky maps of the boundary between the Sun’s environment (the heliosphere), and interstellar space. The results, reported as a bright, winding ribbon of unknown origin which bisects the maps, have taken researchers by surprise. However, the discovery fits the electric model of stars perfectly.
The Z-pinch model offers a simple explanation for the "giant ribbon" found wrapped around the heliosphere. The Z-pinch is naturally aligned with the interstellar magnetic field. Solar "wind" ions are scattered and neutralized by electrons from the Birkeland current filaments to form ENA's coming from the Z-pinch ring, a giant ring about the solar system and orthogonal to the interstellar magnetic field.
The Sun's heliospheric circuit is connected to the galaxy via the central column and the disk of charged particles. The current path is traced by magnetic fields. The "open" helical magnetic fields discovered high above the Sun's poles by the Ulysses spacecraft are supportive of Alfvén's stellar circuit model. And the solar "wind" would seem to connect to the broader disk of charged particles about the heliosphere.
This is not a circuit. It's not even a diagram of a transistor. If the Sun is an emitter, where is the collector and where is the base that controls the current? What is the function of the base? How is its action inferred from observation?
Maybe it would be better if we talked vacuum tubes. They're easier to understand, no holes involved. So what you're talking about is analogous to glow discharge as seen in, say, a diode. Well then, where's the cathode?
And where is the connexion between cathode and anode that has to be there to complete the circuit? Where is the evidence for such a connexion?
How is the supposed electron flow back to the anode insulated from the 'galactic medium' to which you have rather hilariously assigned the function of cathode? Wondrous magnetic fields keeping them apart in space? Where are these fields? What generates them? How are they sustained? Imaginary this, imaginary that. Where's the real sphere that has to be there--the cathode?
Answers in your own words, please. Nobody is going to read pages and pages of electric-sun blether from some third-party source. If you understand this 'theory' well enough to believe it, you should be able to explain it yourself.
Except it's 'not exhibiting inflow at this moment'. And never has. Your ACE-based aspirations are futile; see below.
If the sun is emitting electrons, how can it possibly be an anode?
'Scattering from the strahl and/or heating' is thought by the authors to cause electron backscatter. They are not saying, nor do their observations in any way suggest, a positively charged Sun clawing back the electrons it has itself just discharged. This could be because they are scientists, and don't believe in magic.
'Isotropic over the sunward-facing hemisphere' means there is no concentration towards the Solar poles as one would expect to observe, even from an equatorial vantage, if there was any truth in the EU model.
'Adiabatic motion', is motion due to changes in gas pressure, not electron motion towards a nonexistent anode.

There is a one-in-four chance, however, that the particles detected are not dark matter but ordinary subatomic particles such as neutrons, the team cautions.

Actually there are some of both. The weapon dropped on Hiroshima was a uranium gun type fission device. The one used on Nagasaki was a plutonium implosion device. Both were fission devices. Soon thereafter, fusion devices were invented. These are usually called thermonuclear bombs. Or H bombs, instead of the earlier A bomb.

The pnp transistor like mechanism is self-regulating. The paper details how it is inferred from observation and how it self regulates. The number of observations in agreement with the electrical model are too numerous to list them all here.
you must have missed this: "The analogy is that the body of the Sun serves as the emitter of a pnp junction transistor. The photosphere serves as the base, and the lower corona serves as the collector."
If you're not going to take the time to read the papers, I'm not sure what you want me to do about that.
We have clear evidence of backstreaming electrons.
The Sun emitting a netural solar wind does not mean the Sun does not have a net positive charge. To quote Scott "Juergens’ model implies...
