The absence of a strong field on Venus, despite its otherwise terrestrial bulk properties, is probably consistent with the dynamo mechanism. The planet rotates about a factor of 250 times more slowly than Earth. Mercury rotates slowly and is too small to support a strong convective core, but it does have a very detectable dipole moment of 2.4 X 10 G cm. Its field is very small, about 0.002 G, and is nearly aligned and probably a relic from the earlier stages of planetary evolution. Mars rotates with nearly the same period as Earth, but it is smaller and may only support a very small convective core. Mars has displayed vulcanic activity in the past, evidence for core or mantle convection, but the planet does not possess even a very weak intrinsic magnetic field. 

Like the old royal chariots, the chariot of the solar body has four wheels. Wheel is the root meaning of the Sanskrit word, chakra, used because of the chakras rotating motion. The four chakras that are the wheels of the fiery chariot of the spirit are the Mercury and Venus centers to the front and the Sun and Mars centers to the back. This is the Merkabah which was seen in Ezekial s vision in the Valley of Bones, the omnipresent throne of Adam-Qadmon. The name Merkabah is also given to the Jewish mystical system of the post-Temple period. 

This can be achieved in two different ways. In the first, a slow scan, comparable to that used in DC polarography, is carried out using an electrode with a constant, unchanging surface such as a mercury pool, a hanging mercury drop, or a solid electrode. The electrode can be stationary and the solution stationary or stirred or the electrode can be periodically displaced in the solution by rotation, vibration, etc. 

A mercury-plated glassy carbon rotating disc electrode (which accelerates the accumulation process) was studied with various pulse methods during the stripping period [166]. The highest sensitivity was obtained... 

For Mercury, long imagined on the basis of optical observations to rotate once per 88-day revolution around the Sun, radar bandwidth measurements (see Fig. 6) demonstrated direct rotation with a period (59 days) equal to two-thirds of the orbital period. This spin-orbit coupling is such that during 2 Mercury years, the planet rotates three times with respect to the stars but only once with respect to the Sun, so a Mercury-bound observer would experience alternating years of daylight and darkness.
