So what are pulsar's? Are they actually ten mile diameter stars spinning super fast? or are they some sort of electrical discharge?

I'm think spinning star, but who knows.

Pulsars are probably natural monostable oscillator circuits. A good old fashioned LC-circuit

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC_circuit

LC-circuits, to function, need to have on inductance, a magnetic field, (pulsars have massive magnetic fields ), then it needs capacitance, nothing more than an electric field, (pulsars no doubt have huge electric fields ) and one last thing you need is a flow of charge, electrons in an LC-tank, ions or plasma in a pulsar! The interstellar currents or plasma flow, powers these pulsars just like electricity powers our electronics. The character, intensity of the charge flow controls the pulsars. That is, pulsars should respond to changes in the space electricity flow by changing their frequencies!? They could become a valuable diagnostic tool for studying and understanding the electric universe! Of course after the current useless dogma "science" gets replaced by EU.

The compositional make up of the pulsar, and the environment that the pulsar is located in could give rise to RLC-circuit.

Indeed if one naturally takes this line of thought to its end, space should be full of circuits. Simple circuits = pulsars, Complex ones = us, life, God. Indeed a pulsar might be a single neuron in Gods brain!?

hi tangointhenight,

So what are pulsar's? Are they actually ten mile diameter stars spinning super fast? or are they some sort of electrical discharge?

I vote for the latter.
The ten mile diameter star is a figment of the imagination of those constrained by the assumption that gravity is the only force of any consequence in space. This despite the 20th C revelation that 99+% of the matter in the universe is in the plasma state, and plasmas even if of an overall neutral charge, form charged cells with electric currents flowing between them. The electric force is many orders of magnitude more powerful than gravity and prevents the catastrophic collapse of a stellar matter into such a small volume.
Pulsars are thought to be rapidly rotating neutron stars, yet it is well known that neutrons cannot exist outside of the nucleus of an atom for more than 15 minutes:

While bound neutrons in stable nuclei are stable, free neutrons are unstable; they undergo beta decay with a lifetime of just under 15 minutes (885.7 ± 0.8 s).[4]

"Both simulation and experiment suggest that micro-pulses and sub-pulses are produced by particle-wave interactions in non-uniform plasma eradiated by the electromagnetic wave. This effect is produced when the magnetically insulated voltage pulse reaches the pulsar surface. Because of the curvature, magnetic insulation is lost and plasma flows across this region. This tends to create a resonating or modulating component to the proper current pulse"
and thier conclusion,
"The source of the radiation energy may not be contained within the pulsar, but may instead derive from either the pulsars interaction with its environment or by energy delivered by an external circuit (Hannes Alfvén 1981) [...]

From the Sounds page

The surface of this star is moving at about 1/7 of the velocity of light and illustrates the enormous gravitational forces which prevent it flying apart due to the immense centrifugal forces. The fastest-rotating pulsar is PSR J1748-2446ad, which rotates about 10% faster at 716 times a second.

This argument works better in reverse: it seems impossible for any material to withstand these forces of inertia. Also, while we are in in standard physics, Einsteins relativity can be used to calculate the predicted time dilation and length contraction of the equator of the pulsar as compared to its poles. Imagine what is happening to that surface. (I can't )

Seriously...

Listening to those pulsars I am not sure how you cannot hear the electrical nature of the object.

Its one of those things though isn't it?

When you find what was hiding under your nose.. you see it everywhere.
