Dont have the math background or the funds / developed experimental skill set to go to the physics forums - the "over the head" response

Surfing the fields and flares....just watch where you are going.

Curious - apply an electrostatic charge to a ball, spin it.
Would it generate a magnetic field along the axis of spin ?
What happens to the static electric field ?
Would centripetal force affect the field ?

Musings ....
