The Strange True Story of a Radio Station's Transmitter in New York State
In the version that I heard it was the null that the 'suck out' caused that led to an investigation that resulted in the prosecution. Now whether this is true or not is another matter. It seems to me that a resonant structure to capture energy would re-radiate so I can't see where such a null would come from, the wavelength is long so the path difference between the main tx and the re-radiator would make such a phase shift difficult to achieve. -- Brian Surely that would only be true if the power was not dumped into a load? The power in the load has to come from somewhere, and if it is in the load it is not in the aether. Jeff |

It depends on the power captured vs the power in the load, but in any case the aperture of the loop is fairly small and cannot allow energy to be captured from outside that aperture. In comparison with the size of the transmitting antenna and the field it generates this must be insignificant I think. In fact, I wonder if he could really run a house full of fluorescent lights this way. -- Brian |
