If you don't believe me, simulate it with EZNEC. Connect a source to

be delayed till it matches the phase of the applied voltage. Power

The "current will be delayed"?

Compared to the phase of the current without the inductor being in
series."

That cannot be, according to
W8JI and W7EL. They say there is no more delay through a 6"
coil than through a 6" wire.

You are talking about delay from one end of the coil to the other. I
am talking about delay, compared to the same circuit without the
inductor in place. See the difference?

That's what the argument is all about.

Not from where I am watching.

Instead of the current being delayed, their voltage
jumps ahead in time at greater than the speed of light in
order to correct that power factor.

Good one. Pull the other.
