Default Standing-Wave Current vs Traveling-Wave Current

You have just contradicted yourself. There *cannot* be any
real power associated with a voltage and current that are
90 degrees out of phase.

Power = V*I*cos(90) = 0 watts

I will attempt to check your math. I'll bet your dimensions
are volt*amps and NOT watts.
