This electric field generate the magnetic field and so on. So the Hertz'
dipole has the three sources of waves. The centre and the two ends.


Only the change in current and charge, over time, produces EM

radiation. That radiation includes both the magnetic and electric
fields, at right angles to each other and to the direction of travel.

In the case of a self-resonant, center-fed, 1/4-wave dipole, current

is maximum at the feedpoint and minimum at the ends of the dipole.
Therefore the ends radiate very little of the total applied power.

Hi Richard,

Lot of contradiction in the short space of one sentence, isn't there?

Tipped in space? Who but an astronaut know this? Is an antenna
tipped if he wasn't there? (The logical knot formerly known as "If a
tree falls in the forest, does it make waves or particles?")

A vector creates a sphere? A vector with no tail, and all head? Must
be a new science of mechanics there. If there is any lesson to be
learned from the past, then Newton has been discarded for heresy.

Where "radiation is ... not of waves" invalidates every patent
description Art has ever submitted - fortunately that doesn't have any
impact on the legality of their issue.

Let's see, where one of Art's patents teaches that reflectors are
shorter than the driven element, and the directors are longer, was
this due to the newly revealed particle theory? Art has steadfastly
refused to explain this novel design feature until - well certainly
not now (or ever?) and I will never see his mea culpa. Such an
admission would plunge the postings count into oblivion without that
full quota of nonsense.

What happened to his other patent's teaching of "length efficiency?"
Now that we have witnessed the dawn of the tilted equilibrated full
wave radiator (TEFWR), it would seem that "length efficiency" (which
formerly compressed the antenna by snipping off the ends that didn't
radiate) has been sent to the neighborhood Re-education Kamp.

As I stand on the corner waving goodbye to that bus, I fondly recall
how the logic stood that no current could be found on the tips of
radiators, thus trim them off to no loss of radiation. It took very
few decades before Art had then recognized that his new antenna's tips
had no more current than the full-length one, and he trimmed that one
once again! New and improved (as the saying goes). Another decade
passed into the new millennium and he observed that he could extend
this logic once again to the point where his last design encompassed a
160M full sized antenna in the space of two shoe boxes. The TRIUMPH
OF TITANIC PROPORTIONS.

Yes, I realize the irony in caps and terms chosen to illustrate this,
the Ritual Art of Antenna Bris. The careful reader may wish to count
the number of accumulated ironies, retorts, confutations, and quips;
and submit them on a sheet of paper inclosed with $2 in postage stamps
inside an envelope (send no coins), posted to me. Those who can show
the correlation between each and the appropriate patent number will be
awarded Mauve bonus points. Winners will be announced at a future
date. [Offer void where permitted by law.]

Cecil pointed out that in physics, electromagnetic radiation is treated
with duality, using either particle theory or waves, whichever is more
convenient for the problem at hand.


Well, there's the match for this pair of bookends. Cecil could have
as easily contributed with an inventory of his left pocket's contents.

Parts with r-f-current flow, the greatest radiation occurring from
locations along the radiator where current is greatest.

Current flow is near zero at the ends of any unloaded dipole, and at
the top of any unloaded vertical monopole (even those in directional
arrays).

If it looks vertical, the polarization is vertical;
If it looks horizontal, the polarization is horizontal.


It thus stands to reason that if the radiator is U shaped you see both
horizontal and vertical - hence the full sphere filled with radiation.

vertical). *Total field is spherical.

Richard cannot read this. However I find his posting to be rewarding .
The present aproach to radiation is that a free electron is torn away
from the nucleous of an atom which creates uncertaincy. Such an action
is that of the strong force which is akin the the splitting of an atom
where such an action would release electrons such that they would
bombard electrical networks such as in Hawaii. When one uses Maxwells
equations
it becomes very obvious that with decreasing impeadance radiation
increases until we get to the point of zero impedance where reality is
forced to be reviewed.
Since we now recognize that radiation is not created by the radiator
itself as it is only a carrier of a radiator, the model used must be
of cylinder type of homogeonos free electrons
where removal of the free electrons/particles is by a "weak force" and
not a strong force.
Thus in reality the model to be used is that of a cylinder where the
"stiction" of each electron,(I should really keep to the term particle
so one does not automatically insert *neutrinos or a subset of
leptons) to a diamagnetic material is effectively replaced by a hoop
stress which first showed up in the *boundary of the "Big Bang".
Now we have something that meets reality, where increase in current
applied creates an increase in radiation and where the model is seen
to be a boundary consisting of particles bound to each other! This is
basically implied by Maxwell's equations as illustrated by the
computer programs where radiation increase is proportional to the
decrease of impedance
of the energy robbing metallic radiator and where cylindrical boundary
model increases it's share of the current applied for continued
radiation and still is in concert with known laws
without resorting to extreme low temperature to attain "zero
impedance" which lacks reality.
As a side note. It is the arbitrary boundary in shear (spin) which
provides the Weak Force of the Standard Model as foreseen by Einstein
when he took on his fruitless search. And it would appear that the
reversal of the positive sign of the shown "Radio World" material is
somewhat supporting of this posting but that should be the subject of
a separate thread.
Art Unwin


I might add that this solves a nagging problem of mine. What is
normally referred to
as a "half wave" is in reality the equivalent of a "full wave folded
dipole" where the particle sleeve represents the other half of a wave
length ( see "U" antenna mentioned by Richard)
Of course the inner element formally seen as a radiator takes on its
true form of a carrier only but does provide for the required
equilibrium even tho the lumped load capacitance area in between "has
disappeared" or the equivalent of cancellation of lumped loads to
provide maximum efficiency while accounting for all forces involved.
This now completely solves the radiation problem, that has lasted a
Century, in compliance with all existing laws. as well as being
suplimented by the Gaussian extention . The above also solves the
identification of the Weak Force which provided completion of the
Standard Model as envisioned by Einstein. All is now of a proven
nature UNTIL my peers can point to where it deviates from existing
laws of Classical Physics.
It has been fun over the years exposing the self perceived psuedo
experts of this newsgroup as well as exposing to the World those who
follow and quote only books in the effort to resist change.
Bottom line is.
If you can't develop a theme from first principles you are just a

Well, movement of electrons is the basis for current flow. 'Torn away' is an
interesting choice of words, but separation of electrons from an atom is
commonplace. (BTW the electrons come from the atom, not the nucleus.)

Such an action
is that of the strong force which is akin the the splitting of an atom
where such an action would release electrons such that they would
bombard electrical networks such as in Hawaii.


Removing an election and 'splitting of an atom' are vastly different
concepts. You are talking about two vastly different things.

When one uses Maxwells
equations
it becomes very obvious that with decreasing impeadance radiation
increases until we get to the point of zero impedance where reality is
forced to be reviewed.
Since we now recognize that radiation is not created by the radiator
itself as it is only a carrier of a radiator, the model used must be
of cylinder type of homogeonos free electrons
where removal of the free electrons/particles is by a "weak force" and
not a strong force.


So, explain this model. A cylinder of homogeneous (whatever that means) free
electrons would repel each other and dissipate into space. They would be
lost forever.

Thus in reality the model to be used is that of a cylinder where the
"stiction" of each electron,(I should really keep to the term particle
so one does not automatically insert neutrinos or a subset of
leptons) to a diamagnetic material is effectively replaced by a hoop
stress


What is the hoop stress. You have created another undefined term which is
meaningless.

which first showed up in the boundary of the "Big Bang".
Now we have something that meets reality, where increase in current
applied creates an increase in radiation and where the model is seen
to be a boundary consisting of particles bound to each other! This is
basically implied by Maxwell's equations as illustrated by the

normally referred to
as a "half wave" is in reality the equivalent of a "full wave folded
dipole" where the particle sleeve represents the other half of a wave
length ( see "U" antenna mentioned by Richard)


You seem to have created your own, new, definition of a folded dipole. One
where the length in wavelengths is no longer the distance from end to end,
rather the length of material used (or the perceived circuit path).

What is more amazing is that your definition of full wavelength is now 1/2
what you originally thought it to be. Yet that apparently doesn't cause you
significant concern.


Of course the inner element formally seen as a radiator takes on its
true form of a carrier only but does provide for the required
equilibrium even tho the lumped load capacitance area in between "has
disappeared" or the equivalent of cancellation of lumped loads to
provide maximum efficiency while accounting for all forces involved.


However, you completely ignore the 'laws' regarding the fields that are
generated by the current in the 'carrier'. Or that they would cancel the
result from the field generated by the outer element.


This now completely solves the radiation problem, that has lasted a
Century, in compliance with all existing laws.


You have not shown, in any way, how this is in compliance with what you call
laws. Since you show no math, nobody can really know what you are talking
about.

as well as being
suplimented by the Gaussian extention . The above also solves the
identification of the Weak Force which provided completion of the
Standard Model as envisioned by Einstein. All is now of a proven
nature UNTIL my peers can point to where it deviates from existing
laws of Classical Physics.


Proof of your concept is something YOU PROVIDE. Nothing is proven until you
can show, in a clear manner, what you think you understand about how
antennas work. If you really have some new idea, you should be able to
document it and verify it with real work experiments. Your work should also
be verifiable and able to be repeated independently by others. When that
happens you may have developed some new scientific understanding.

It has been fun over the years exposing the self perceived psuedo
experts of this newsgroup as well as exposing to the World those who
follow and quote only books in the effort to resist change.


I would venture to guess that it is not the others resisting change, rather
it is their opposition to someone who proposes concepts that ignore and
contradict the current understanding of antennas. If you have some new idea
regarding antennas, it should not conflict with the understood state of the
art, rather, it should expand the state of the art. Your ideas conflict in
numerous areas which other have pointed out. However, you choose to ignore
those inputs.



Bottom line is.
If you can't develop a theme from first principles you are just a
follower
and not a true Engineer.


An engineer does not need to develop all his ideas from first principles.
Rather, existing ideas are extended. The engineer should know the first
principles, but deriving everything from first principles is grossly
inefficient.

But the big thing is you just spout those first principles without really
understanding them. The true engineer knows what he is talking about.

The true engineer also validates his work with models and prototypes. He
tests his ideas to show they actually work as expected. You play with models
(but never adequately share them) and your prototypes have not been shown to
have real usefulness as an antenna.

When asked to provide results from experiments any good engineer will have,
or get, data that supports his position. When you are asked, your favorite
answer is 'I don't work for you'.

You even use this response when someone gives you a suggestion on how to
verify the cause of a problem you are having.

You are NOT an engineer. You are NOT a scientist. You may have been an
engineer in the past, but today, you are not showing that ability.

The pity is, you believe what you are doing. That is the only thing that can
be verified. (Verification comes from the fact you did submit a patent
application. That is the only thing that can be independently verified.)

You provided no proof of you assertion.

Then Dr Davis came along and provided academic proof per its
legitimacy. Having a Doctorate from MIT and working for the Space

All Dr. Davis stated was the relationship between Gauss and Maxwell. You
claimed to come up with something new, and it was there all the time. He did
not say anything about the validity of your ideas regarding antennas.


I then found out that
one of the prolific antagonistic posters did not survive high school.
True, he was suspended, so it was not really his fault!
Obviously such things are not the norm in this group but it does give
you thought regarding a antagonistic track record when lacking in
independent thought shoots from the hip or extract a paragraph from a
book like a copy provided by a copying machine of which he has no

Nope, I have provided details of my independent work all of which
follows the existing laws
of Classical physics.


Any details you have presented are minimal.

At this time I see it as a worthwhile theory
with merit and possibly more if there is no violation of existing
laws.


"if there is no violation" means you aren't even convinced.


If you have doubts then contact your alma
to provide consistency in your allegations. Or alternatively wait for
the PTO printing of my
present concluding patent request such that all details are available
for inspection.
This newsgroup is available for free speech but for the reader caution
is advised. Reverse your position on the Gaussian extension so we can
then continue the discussion.


If you extension to Gauss is just a re-iteration of Maxwell, then you have

Time and time again you have shown that you are not willing to discuss. You

I submit that industry-recognized, expert sources on the subject of

principles.

Anyone can develop and publicize a theme about the operation of
antennas.

Scientifically PROVING that such a theme is correct takes a true
