About a decade ago before Google took over this group I mentioned that
use of the water pump ideology would provide a unique form of
antennas.
Roy at that time pointed out that there was no correlation with
electron flow.
As most know this did not deter me and I have devoted the last ten
years
in following this path on antennas. Yes. I know it has never been
accepted as some may well remember the combination loop dipole that I
have spoken about plus the the home written amateur patents.
To cut the story short I heard thru the grapevine that a series of
patents have been applied for using the pump (coupling in electrical
parlance)
where instead of a dipole combination the pump is applied to the loop
antenna
such that they also are physically combined. ( presumably the same
principle)
Obviously they did more than that since physical connection of two
radiators
is now well known. If anybody comes across the actual description
of this new family of antennas I would sure like to learn more about
it as my
as my many discussions amoung the experts of this group has created
nothing but mirth such that I abandond a couple of extra patents both
here and abroad in embarrasement. If I could get hold of the actual
patent numbers I would like to see the error of my ways and the vital
step that I missed before wasting time on my present efforts as they
are so time consuming.
Any info on this new family of antennas would surely be appreciated by
this
poster.
