Alfred,
Thanks for the info. I have printed it off and will consider what you say
very carefully, I have noted that the dielectric and varing capacitance
are key to the ES wave transmission issue. Your spin is interesting and
must be checked out. The Tesla coil is a great item due to the dv/dt
issue as well associated with the production of electrostatics. you are
positing a d(charge)/dt via capacitance change. This still keeps things
all scalar with no vectors.
All note* The use of the term scalar here refers to the scientific
units of potential and charge which are none directional (even in
maxwells work). Scalar does not refer to the seemingly endless word
salads on the other list. If we deal with only scalar quantities,
maxwells work can be circumvented and electrostatic discussions are
locked within that field only.
The Tesla coil seems to indicate an interesting, not normally considered
source for ES energy.
