Where is the conductor in your 'rotating magnet' suggestion? Is it not
the case that the current gives rise to the potential difference from
which the eletric field arises? It is the current that is directly
responsible for the magnetic component, of course.

I attempted a partial explanation of your question in the following
paragraph ...

And the biggest partial model that leads to much MISunderstanding is that
electricity is all about pos and neg charges whereas in fact it is
all about the EM fields!


Perhaps I'm just being dense,

I doubt that very much.

but I still don't see how the electric
component of the propagating EM field arises in your scenario. I have
to admit, though, that it's probably 50 years since I last looked at
this stuff in (I think) the ARRL Handbook, perhaps my memory is at
fault.

Well, it is 42 years since I studied all that stuff*****, admittedly in the
3rd year
of an electronics course at University, and perhaps therein lies the problem
for many people, for unless you have studied differential vector fields then
you won't have the backgrund for Maxwell's Equations.

By saying that, I do not mean to be condescending and am always willing
to help others. Maxwell's equations are the starting point for a real
understanding
of all matters electrical.

made by the Crossed Field Antenna idea.
