Uranus, unlike all other planets of the solar system, spins on its side. Uranus's axis of rotation lies nearly in the plane of its orbit. The axes of the other planets are all nearly perpendicular to the orbital plane. Uranus makes this theory some what shaky. Although Uranus' spin is not as the theory projects, many conditions support the theory.
Visually, Uranus is a nearly featureless blue-green ball. From Earth, one cannot even see that it is rotating. Knowledge about Uranus's rotation came from observing the orbits of the major moons. The orbits are all nearly circular, and they lie nearly in one plane. This observation suggested the Uranian system had settled into a state in which the moons orbit in the planet's equatorial plane.
Precise observations show that the counterclockwise rotation is tilted 98 degrees with respect to the pole of the planet's counterclockwise orbit around the sun.
The mass, radius, temperature and atmospheric composition of Uranus were also known before the Voyager mission. The mass had been determined from the orbital periods of the satellites. The radius had been determined by timing how long stars stay hidden behind the planet. Atmospheric and temperature conditions had been determined from infrared spectrum analysis and absorption characteristics of sunlight.
Although the top layer of the atmosphere is mostly gaseous hydrogen, the bulk of Uranus is made of heavier stuff. Uranus's density is about 1.27 grams per cubic centimeter. From the density it is suggested that Uranus consists mostly water, ammonia and methane, because they are compounds of the four most abundant reactive elements in nature, and are the most abundant ices in the solar system.
As much as 30 percent of the heat radiated by the planet comes from its interior rather than from the Sun. The Earth is .01 percent and for Jupiter and Saturn about 70 percent. If any thing supports my theory the radiated heat problems does. Since no radio signals were present from the interior of Uranus and Saturn, Uranus and Saturn should be solid. Can't have more energy coming out than going in for long.
Voyager 2 approach Uranus on January 24, 1986. As Voyager came closer to the planet, winds on the surface were noticed. It was determined that the winds blew in an east-west direction like Earth. (Note: east and west are determined from the position of the poles and not with respect to orbit.) However, the atmospheric considerations are similar to all the other planets. Voyager 2 crossed the bow shock on January 24, only 10 hours before its closest approach to the planet.
Uranus's magnetic field was not as simple a field as had been expected. Every other planetary magnetic field is dominated by a dipole component, with magnetic subcomponents describing irregularities in the dipole field, thought to be created by internal electrical currents. On Uranus, the bar magnet is tilted by 60 degrees with respect to the rotation axis, and the other field components are almost as strong as the dipole. Thus to fit the field into a dipole, one has to move the dipole off center by 30 percent of the planet's radius.
Many anomalies were detected concerning Uranus's magnetic field. The dipole seemed to shift. The magnetic field seemed to pulsate in intensity. The amplitude of the pulse ranged from 108 joules to 1010 joules like clock work. The wave form was almost square. This affect could be present in my theory however, it would work better if it were sinusoidal. Explained by a high dielectric high resistance current alternating through the planet. It was found that the internal rotation rate deduced from the Uranian magnetic field was different than the outer atmosphere. That is the outer cloud tops near the poles were rotating faster than the interior and at the equator the clouds were rotating slower than the interior. Even this can be explained using my theory. Simply, different material react differently within a an electromagnetic field. So, although, the magnetic poles of Uranus along with the spin do not fit in with my theory some parts do fit the theory.
A JPL scientist said about Uranus's magnetic field; For case of the interior of Uranus, where the magnetic dynamo resides, it would have to know where the sun is.
The magnetosphere of Uranus extends to an altitude of at least 600,000 kilometers on the day side of the planet and to about six million kilometers on the night side. Like other planets the magnetospheres it is filled with an ionized gas, or plasma. The particles are trapped in the magnetic field, and they oscillate between the north and south magnetic poles. Also, there is a radiation belt similar to that of the Van Allen belt.
Generally speaking, there are enough predictabilities as oddities that the theory not be discounted simply because the planet doesn't spin right. Uranus is by far the strangest of the planets within our solar system. It is unfortunate that NASA didn't just orbit the Voyager around Uranus. I think if they did, we would know what causes the magnetic structure of all the planets. For sure, we'd know more about Uranus.
On the other hand, Uranus proves the theory by disproving the present theory of the planet formation. No possible way gravitational condensation will explain Uranus. But Uranus' satellite orbits and rings, would fit my theory. The location and direction of Uranus fits the theory. It's just the spin that doesn't fit the theory and there are several ways which could explain the discrepancy. An easy explanation is Uranus is new to the solar system and hasn't aligned itself with the system yet. Another more bizarre explanation is that Uranus is two planets chasing each other in close orbit about each other. Along the same line, Uranus' core is not spherical. A third way Uranus' spin can be accounted for with my theory is that of a windmill. Lastly, solar space is different for Uranus' location than those of other planets. Or, a combination of theses reasons with something else added.
Limitation of Voyager:
I and any one can argue the creditability of the data. The Voyager, although a stupendous achievement was very limited. Comparing the amount of data present, the Voyager flashed by Uranus in what can be compared to as an instant in time. We hardly know any thing about Uranus.
The three generators on the spacecraft produce electricity by applying heat, which is released by the radioactive decay of plutonium oxide, to a thermoelectric material. When Voyager 2 was launched, the thermoelectric generators had a power output of more than 470 watts. By the time the spacecraft reached Uranus the natural decay of the plutonium oxide had reduced the available power output to about 400 watts, which was not enough to operate all spacecraft subsystems simultaneously. As a consequence some subsystems could only be switched on after others had been switched off, and this put certain constraints on the design of the mission.
One of those subsystems, which got shut down a lot, was the magnetometer.

The point being, we know very little about Urnaus, but what little we do know, except for the spin, which can be explained by outside forces or recent capture, Urnaus sort of acts like it should for this theory.
