*During each second*, Wave#1 supplies 50 joules of energy and

Yet the results of that superposition process yields 171 joules
of energy *during each second*, 71 joules more than is being
supplied to the process. Where are the extra 71 joules per second
coming from?


Congratulations, you appear to have solved the world's energy problems
for ever! Electricity will now be too cheap to meter, just like they
promised when nuclear power plants were first built.


Sorry, unlike others on this newsgroup, I don't support
a violation of the conservation of energy principle. To
answer my own question above, the extra 71 joules/sec
of constructive interference comes from 71 joules/sec
of destructive interference occurring somewhere else.
