The posting was my reply to that original email.

Right now I'm not accepting that you will be able
to combine two independent waves carrying 50 watts each into a single
wave carrying more than 100 watts.

It happens all the time at a Z0-match in a transmission
line. Please reference Dr. Best's article in the Nov/Dec
2001 QEX. He combines a 75 joule/sec wave with an 8.33
joule/sec wave to get a 133.33 joule/sec wave.

Ptotal = 75 + 8.33 + 2*SQRT(75*8.33) = 133.33 joules/sec

Dr. Best's article was the first time I had ever seen
the power density irradiance equations from the field
of optical physics used on RF waves.
