Well, for simplicity sake, yes. The longer explanation is that my model predicts the free flow of positrons and electrons. That IMPLIES fission or fusion, but how or what that looks like in the core is pure speculation at this point. It COULD be that dynamo affects are at least partly responsible for the flow of electricity as well. Since I can't really see what's going on beneath the surface and since I can't really know what is releasing the electrical current, I stuck with the "tried and true" method.

And I assumed you meant that there was hydrogen that indeed was the matter that was the fuel of the fusion, but now its something more massive that's in there after all?

My "guess" is that the free flow of electrons begins with something heavier that hydrogen/helium, and heavier than iron. We could be talking a FISSION in the core rather than FUSION for all I know. All I'm suggesting is that electrons and positrons are released in these interactions. The rest is speculation. If you're asking me for my best guess, I think it's a fission reaction that releases the positrons and electrons and as well as dynamo affects from the rotation of the magnetic core accross the surface of ferrite/iron.

You also were talking about how the majority of sun consisted of same materials as the planets. But if there is just a layer of these common materials on the sun and below that is something more dense, then isn't the majority of sun made of this something that is more dense or is the layer of iron, calcium, silicon, neon, hydrogen and helium that thick?

That would be my personal expectation, yes.

Or are planets majorly consisted of something more massive than iron? I hope someone can clarify this for me :-?

Since our own planet contains things more massive than iron, it's very difficult for me to imagine the sun not having uranium and plutonium and things like that at it's core. Iron is probably a relatively LIGHT substance compared to what is in the core. During "active" phases, SERTS data revealed elevated levels of nickel (heavier than iron) and sulfur. That suggest to me that whatever is underneath the iron layer is most likely heavier than iron. Gravity will pretty much rule out the interior being made of light materials. Something dense has to be holding up the iron.
