Hello Ted,
The following is a copy of my last msg to Ted, sent much earlier today. I have not yet received a reply. Ted, While I respect your wish to not respond, I have no other choice but to respond, because I'm trying to help you here with respect to legal problems you may encounter down the road if you insist on telling prospective buyers that your antenna outperforms conventional antennas due to a modified relationship between the E and H fields. Sometime in the future the truth will come out that the EH relationship you claim is invalid, destroying your credibility. This is what I don't want to happen. You stated that no one can claim fraud if the antenna does what you say it does. But Ted, the problem is that it doesn't. I pointed out that hundreds of patents have been declared invalid in the courts because the concepts they portrayed were found later to be invalid. In these cases the patent examiners simply did not recognize the invalidity of the subject when they granted the patents. You said you presented proof of performance to the examiner. That you did, and the engineering report you submitted was very well done. The procedure your consulting firm used is exactly the same as what I used when I was in that business years ago. But Ted, your proof of performance proved only that the antenna radiated as indicated by the measured data--it did NOT prove that the antenna was performing with the in-phase E and H field relationship that you claim. And that is the problem. Your statement that everything you say about the EH antenna is valid is easily proven wrong, as I have already done in my previous email. In your reply to my email you said the pattern distortion was due to to a power line. I must remind you that the radiation from your antenna is vertically polarized, while the wires of the power line are horizontal. With the quadrature relationship between the antenna and the power line how can there be sufficient coupling between them to distort the pattern of the vertically polarized field radiated from the antenna? That being said, Ted, I will bother you no longer, but I sincerely hope you'll reconsider my comments, and cease claiming that the E and H fields are rendered in phase by the lagging current in the power delivered to the antenna. 73, Walt, W2DU |

"Sometime in the future the truth will come out that the EH relationship you claim, is invalid, destroying your credibility." Yea, verily! Ever since the command: "Let there be light." was issued, it has been so. This was many eons before James Clerk Maxwell figured it all out in the 19th century. Electrical energy that has escaped into free space exists in the form of electromagnetic waves Some of the waves we detect have been traveling toward us for billions of years. Some of tese electromagnetic waves are called radio waves. They travel with the velocity of light and consist of magnetic and electric fields that are at right angles to each other and also at right angles to the direction of travel. Thank you Dr. F.E. Terman for your well chosen words mixed in with those above. You can do a right-hand rule maneuver while extending one finger to illustrate the field directions involved in a radio wave. Terman gives a better idea with diagrams on page 1 of "Electronic and Radio Engineering". The electric and magnetic fields actually generate each other. It was James Clerk Maxwell who speculated that displacement current (the dielectric force that moves electrical charges in a capacitor), generates magnetic flux lines, the same as current in a conductor does. Subsequently, Maxwell`s point was proved. Out in the near vacuum of the cosmos, there are few examples of electric current as there are very few electrons.. Yet radio propagates very well. Maxwell came up with the secret of propagation of radio and its ilk. A dynamic magnetic field generates a dynamic electric field, which generates a dynamic magnetic field and so on ad infinitum. The same energy is swapped back and forth between fields. That produces an equal division of energy between the two fields, electric and magnetic. Whatever anyone does to launch a radio wave, the secret of propagation is revealed above and this nature of propagation is likely immutable and remains unchanged since creation. Nature doesn`t seem to be creating various new prototypes for a contest for survival of the best adapted radio wave model. Biological types evolve but it seems it is only our understanding of physics which evolves. An EH antenna will have to prove to be better as a transformer to couple radio sets to free space than the time tested models which occupy a fraction of a wavelength and can be better than 95% efficient.

Even if an antenna was invented that yielded 100% efficiency instead of 95% efficiency, what difference would it make? 3% of an S-unit? -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
