TravWave.EZ is not really an antenna.

It is more an artificial ground toaster. It bears no more
relationship to an antenna than its applicability to
Standing/Traveling Waves does to the Prince of Orange.

Your motive with all this handing waving is unclear.
It's only purpose is to illustrate traveling waves on a
single piece of wire. You can make the wire 1/4WL or any
other length. And the same thing can be illustrated by a
model of a terminated rhombic antenna in free space.

This is a terminated rhombic in free space. The termination
resistor is 880 ohms and the 880 ohm feedpoint SWR is 1.032:1.
Take a look at the current with and without the phase. Then
compare that traveling-wave current to the standing-wave current
on a 1/2WL dipole. Or simply learn enough math to tell the
difference between Io*cos(kx)*cos(wt) and Io*cos(kx+wt).
