I haven't had a chance to read Feynman as yet unless it is hidden somewhere on the net. Is it possible he is in error regarding photons as something separate from electrons in flight? A little logic should prove that electrons don't leave the antenna. Assume that electrons radiate from the antenna. If so, they would have to be replaced. Replacing electrons would require a *DC current conponent* imposed upon the RF. Does a DC component exist? Don't most transmitters block DC from reaching the antenna? -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |

Can't do that Cecil. I see radiation as an electron being blasted away from the area that it was at rest with some electrons that are blasted of but prevented from leaving the immediate vicinity or equilibrium boundary returning to the host material. I cannot see what a photon would add to this scenario since the released electrons have the energy accorded to it by inductive energy instantaneous energy. I see no way how to include another energy packet to enhance this energy exchange i.e. blast that overcomes the electron inertia such that it escapes The electron does not get "blasted" away. It merely goes to a higher energy level. Then when it returns to a lower energy level, the difference in energy is emitted as a photon. The electron does not physically separate from the atom of the antenna conductor material and radiate into free space, only the photonic energy is emitted . This all occurs at a frequency that depends on the tuning of the RF circuit. The antenna conductor should be geometrically sized to support the frequency of the emssions for maximum radiation efficiency. Now, since the emission of photons is also an EM wave emission, the energy emitted has both an electrical and magnetic compoment associated with it. The energy has been converted from the "work" to simply move coulombs (electrons) over a potential voltage difference to "work" needed to radiate photons (waves) into free space. Work is work and it remains the same; what the work accomplishes is different. This part I cannot explain very well since I have no idea how RF freqeuncy, or light or other EM waves can be of both a wave nature and particle (photon) nature, but it is, and that is how the energy conversion works. The dual particle natuire and wave nature of RF/light would almost appear to be "faith based" if it weren't for the large body of mathematics and other physics evidence that supports it. Look, I happen to not fully disagree to what you and Cecil are saying. An electron can be an active part of a substance indynamic form in orbit around an atom. You can also have a static form of electron which is at rest. For radiation I am referring to the dislodfgement of a static electron. On the other hand I believe you are referring to a dynamic electron in orbit which constitutes part of that of which we see as a mass. Hello Art, there are forms of radiation that involves the motion of free electrons. One type is the mu-meson or "cosmic ray" which, by the way, is more of a clump of electrons that travels at a rather high velocity, about 0.9c. There are beta rays (created in the betatron which was invented at my beloved University of Wisconsin). But to make loose electrons travel in free space at any appreciable velocity requires a tremendous amount of energy, Where is the information that backs that statement as I need to check that out? A static particle (an electron) sits on a diagmatic surface with a chemical stickynes. All it takes to dislodge that particle from the surface is the amount of energy required to lift up one edge where its inertia is overcome. Thus the energy to propel that static particle appears to be minimul at best. When the energy container of inductance is released instantaneously then the applied voltage is extremely high and easily removes the static particle from the surface. The above is a lot different from removing a dynamic electron in orbit around a atom which requires a tremendous force. Again, please show me where you get your evidence of a "large" amount of energy. I would also add that a dynamic electron may well produce protons but for a static particle to produce a photon is just not on the cards as it has minimul to zero contained energy.

I think most people have had to brush off from their clothing electrostatic particles. So I will call it a static particle without reference to an electron. That static particle can rest on a diagmatic material asd copper and aluminum, gold, silver etc is in that class. It is also this class of material that is used for antennas no less! So static particles are allowed to rest on an antenna. Now a antenna is a tank circuit where the distributed constants of inductance and capacitance are energy storage containers. Now is that hard to understand? And the L,C ratio to each other is very much a constant in antenna mathematics. Do we have anything else? Yes we have resistance. All in all just three distributed components With a tank curcuit the energy containers release their energy in pulsatic form just like the voltage on the Tesla coil . In the case of a radiator a spark is not produced as the power goes to the capacitor which later on will release its stored power which goes back to the inductance. Now if resistance is not present then we would have a loss less system right? Unfortunately there is a litle resistance present but it will act for some time in pendulum style using very little energy. When a pulse of energy is released down stream to the other end any static particles will be projected away from the surface where it acts as a radio communication carrier. So call this static partical at rest on the radiator surface what you want it certainly does not produce a photon. As there is no explanation available as to what radiation is I am content to stay with what I have deduced from adding a time variAnce to Gauss's static law encompassed by an arbitary field which conformes with Maxwells laws as used to determine characteristics of a radiator via computor programs now in existance. Now getting back to electrons static forms ofcourse, what a coincidence that we make our antennas od a diagmatic material which by chance or coincidence or luck of the draw is the only type of material that will allow a accumullation of static particles upon its surface. Now there are sonme other materials which will allow a small amount of static accumulation on the surface such as some types of steel e.t.c which make poor radiators. Why? Because they are not fully populated with static particles or what some call free electons. Now this explanation fits very well together so I consider it a suitable explanation of radiation in the absence of any other explanation. FIND FAULT WITH IT IF YOU CAN AND LET ME KNOW SO I CAN AMMEND IT. Good luck and best regards Art Unwin KB9MZ.......xg |

Good luck and best regards Art Unwin KB9MZ.......xg There are several faults but let me mention just one: You explain that a static charge can exist on an antenna. In fact, that is true, especially in the presence of moving air that tends to add/strip electrons to the surface resulting in a net positive or negative static charge that can even damage your radio in mobile operation if measures are not taken (not sure if + or - but it doesn't make any difference). But all you have been referring to up to now is the electric E-field. What about the magnetic field (H-field) that is also present in the RF wave? With your radiating electrons theory you attempt to cover the E-field in terms of static charges that are put into motion and projected from the antenna. If so, how does a loop antenna work? Do static magnets exist on the antenna surface also get put into motion and get projected outwards at exact right angles to the electrons? Well that is easy! You can't have static magnetic particles resting on a diagmatic material since a diagmatic material is absent any form of hysterysis curve and a static magnet( what ever that may be) generates a hysterysis curve I have to add a smiley to this because I'm sure you know it is quite a preposterous assertion but I am seriously only trying to respectfully question your model. Don't mind the questions but don't write a book on it until you get a response Please take note that Maxwells equations verify this model I suggest you look up in the archives my research on Gauss since you are new to the group before you next want to invalidate Maxwell!!

Art is an aetherist... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminiferous_aether the mysterious 'static particles' that aren't bound to the material and carry the electromagnetic energy can only be the aether. since it is well known how much energy is needed to free an electron from a metalic surface, and as was pointed out that if it was really electrons that were leaving the surface it would require a DC component in addition to the RF to replace them or the antenna would become charged, it must be aether particles that art is talking about. They would satisfy the massless speed of light particles stuck on the surface and other crud that art is dreaming about in his crude attempt to explain electromagnetics. |

When a charged particle encounters an antenna, the energy is transferred to the conductor causing a photonic wave that travels at the speed of light (VF) to the receiver and on to ground (if grounded). Static charges on grounded conductors are immediately discharged to ground. Most amateur antennas are grounded through the transceiver chassis. Some are not grounded but the theory has to work for the grounded ones as well. -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |
