It takes ~1 nS for light to travel one foot through air. How on earth can it possibly travel faster than that through a one foot long copper coil? You guys are worshiping a religion completely divorced from scientific fact. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp O.k., Cecil, let's suppose you're right. Since there's more current going into a coil than coming out, then the coil must be storing charge, somewhere. Charge is conserved, Cecil. You can't create it or destroy it. If the coil is storing charge somewhere it must be acting like a capacitor, which is famous for doing just that. Where does the coil store its charge? 73, Tom Donaly, KA6RUH |
