I have done my lab work and produced results consistent with
classic rho.


But Classic rho didn't tell us the incident voltage. Also, the crux of
your argument was that rho= -1 should be a short, which it is not for complex
Zo.





The benefit of going to the lab is all yours. You will
learn how it works. Alternatively, perhaps, you will demonstrate
that classic rho is all wrong and revised rho rules. In this
case, if YOU have done the lab work, YOU will get (and deserve)
all the glory of a major revision to transmission line theory.


This is not a revision. This is already in the published material.

And i have plenty of lab experience, thank you very much.




If I went back to the lab you are unlikely to accept any new
results from me any more than you have accepted those to date.
Sometimes seeing is believing.



Right. And you probably won't accept any new data from me.



This may be true, but are you saying that a capacitor can reflect an
RMS voltage wave that is greater than the one that charges it?

Yes indeed. Resonant circuits achieve this with ease.

Absolutely incorrect! If capacitance is defined as Coulombs/Volt, then
how are you getting more coulombs than you put in? Remember, i said Root Mean
Square voltage.

How does a capacitor reflect more power than you feed it?

It's almost time for me to cut out of this discussion, if you still don't
understand me.
