Did anyone understand it? If so, would someone else please try to
explain it to me? Where does that 18 watts of "reverse power" go, and
why?

Wouldn't it go to the circulator load which must always be placed at the
source in order to clearly illustrate what happens when a circulator
isn't in place at the source?

When a Z0-match is in place at the source, everything is also clear
since zero reflected energy reaches the source. The Z0-match case,
using an antenna tuner, is the most likely case to be encountered
in ham radio. 100% of the reflected energy and momentum is re-reflected
back toward the load, just as Walter Maxwell has been saying as long
as I can remember.

This stuff is not new. It is explained in "Fields and Waves ..."
