May I offer a rebuttal to your use of "size:" with respect to
radiators?
The addition of radiators and a time varying field to a Gaussian field
shows that a radiator can be any size,shape or elevation as long as it
is in equilibrium.
This is because the result of additions to Gauss's static law results
in the same law of Maxwell.
It can also be seen that any deviation from a straight line format
which creats lumped loading must be neutralized since
radiation is related to distributed loads L and C. Thus shape or size
is a determination of the neutralisation of lumped loads
while attaining equilibrium. With the above in hand it can be seen
that Foucault current generates a field that elevates particles that
have attained a weak magnetic field by entering the earths system
which provides for their rejection or ejection. Per Newtons Law the
weak forces
involved (Fermi) create an oscillation of the radiator which is a
mirror image of arriving impulses upon a radiuator with the same
natural resonance.
It is only convention that calls for an radiator to be straight of
which a helix antenna is an excellent example ,where a continuation of
rotation back to the originating point provides for a full circuit in
equilibrium si9nce added lumped loads are cancelled. Examples of the
foucault current was provided earlier on this forum when describing
the separation of scrap metal by Foucault current rejection. As with
Newton, Faraday Gauss etc all laws depend on the theme of equilibrium
within a boundary of a balanced universe and not on minute sections
thereof.

Art:

This mysterious "equilibrium" (which I seem to have a bit of problem
getting my mind wrapped about), although you, seemingly, sum up a group
of properties with a single word, isn't this just "resonance"--with
respect to conductor length/width, capacitance to surrounding objects
and the shape/form of the magnetic field produced by antenna currents, etc?

However, a thought did come to my mind ... with the new technique of
"taking pictures" of light waves/particles--if a super-strong
electromagnet was pulsed in an enclosure of excitable gas(es), perhaps
we could see some unknown/yet-unseen phenomenon ...

However, you are speaking of resonance, aren't you? still-scratching-head
