I suggested Art read Griffith`s "Radio-Electronic Transmission
Fundamentals". It opens with a brief history of electrical knowledge. It
says that Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction in 1831
and that simultaneously, far away in America, a professor named Joseph
Henry independently made the same discovery.
By this time we already had Colounb`s Law, Ampere`s rule, Gauss` Law,
concerning the relationship between the magnetic field and induced
voltage. Nothing seemed to tie these miscellaneous relationships
together until James Clerk Maxwell, a child prodigy, who entered the
University of Edinburg at age 13 years and was a brilliant student, put
it all together in his unifying equations and published a book,
Electromagnetic Theory. Oliver Heaviside read the book and simplified
for the less erudite, teaching himself the mathematics necessary to
understand Maxwell as he went.

Unless Art has something that Maxwell and Heaviside didn`t cover, it`s
no time to shout eureka! We`ve taken Gauss from the static and made him
dynamic.

Richard,
You have stated that you don't understand the antenna and I believe
you'
others have stated the same but from what I have read Richard is the
only one on the same platform with sufficient knoweledge to debate.
Saying that is for me like pulling teeth!
You putting a lot of unrelated stuff on this thread is just plain
out of order if it is not relevent to the discussion.
Again, you have said many times you don't understand the antenna
where-as Richard of Seattle does, so let him speak.
Start your own thread on tall things you have just read and think
should be repeated or written again.
There is no way this is going to be resolved if you attempt
to make a sequel to burning water by inventing some
irrelavent tangent. For once listen and learn
and then go to a book and verify what you heard and not what
you thought you read, then you can speak with authority of
your own. We are discussing one thing and one thing only,
it is not connected in any way to what you just printed.
