"The halve wave dipole has the two sources" means "dipole has visible
the both ends".

A 1/2WL dipole is a standing wave antenna.
Are you saying that the forward energy is one source
and the energy reflected from the ends is a second
source?

Each dipole has visible the two radials (sometimes end parts of the
transmitting line). Each radials has the one strong source at the end like
the Kundt's tube. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundt's_tube
A dipole has the two radials so it has at least the two strong sources.
Only the two if it is shorter then WL. If it is longer than WL then appear
the next sources on the both radials at each 1/2WL from the end.

I will be absent till Monday evening.

You go into details.
In the Gas Analogy the monopole antena is exactly like the Kundt's tube.

A dipole has the two Kundt's tubes.

Hi Richard,

The entire radiator radiates, not just portions of it. The phase,
time, distance relationships along the length contribute to a myriad
of characteristics, but they are not separable from the complete
contribution.

Yes, I do go into the details.

Analogy is a false arguement. In the car-seen-at-a-distance analogy,
this proves that only midgets or pygmies drive cars because we are too
big to fit into such small things seen in the distance.

Using the method of moments, each segment contributes
radiation proportional to the net current in the segment.

Heaviside did the Hydraulic Analogy. All is exactly the same like in the
fluids mechanics.
Next the electrons were discovered. Automatically Heaviside is a history and
the Gas Analogy is in power.

But you, radio people, are very close to waves and should be easy for you to
work out the answer for the Question:
Which Analogy is right?

"Exactly" makes it very, very easy to show how an analogy fails:
Describe the laminar flow in terms of
the Reynolds number for
the interface between RF and a Biconical Antenna
and
the interface between RF and a thin wire Antenna.

If you do not understand
1. the terms of fluid mechanics and/or
2. cannot complete this request, then
your analogy has failed.

I won't wait for that obvious failure. This is several steps above
your pay-grade. So, you should really attempt to work on first
principles rather than rummaging in the attic for impressive artifacts
of science. The musty chestnuts you find would poison a dog.

neither analogy is 'right'. they are useful in limited circumstances to
demonstrate some basic pressure wave physics to young students. but neither
one properly reproduces electromagnetic waves.

Hmm, I think I'd start with a very long K1FO yagi, say 50 elements.
Maybe even extend one to 100 elements to getting very fine details.
Then we look at the longitoodordinal current along the horizontal
element by element. I'll have to work on it a while though.

What are you thinking?
