The question then is, "is the wire loop necessary to produce RF
radiation?"


Or something similar, yes.

Essentially, the rotating field can cause a current to flow in a
conductor, that current will produce another magnetic field. The current
is charge movement, therefore you have an electric field. That
and the 'new' magnetic field can produce an EM wave. No different to any
other coil 'excited' with an AC current- perhaps the method of exciting
the coil is a little unconventional ;-)


Sometimes I am astounded by the things that you come out with; things that
perhaps explains your daily output of bluster and the smokescreen that
you attempt to creat with your continual personal abuse?
