  Note that pressure can be a scalar (vector) or a wave surface which is two
dimensional.

   The NASA tether uses Faraday's discovery which involves a moving wire
thru a magnetic field creating an EMF and current in the wire. Lenz's Law
has to do with the DIRECTION of the EMF and, therefore, only involves the
direction of the current. Lenz's Law and the tether experiment do not
involve Hertzian (radio) waves.

 The tether current must have a return path which is the ionosphere. A high
voltage is needed to move the current thru the ionosphere. The tether is
generating about 5000 volts and uses an electronic gun. This can be better
done by using a Tesla coil but it must be redesigned. The NASA engineers
obviously have not been able to properly redesign the TC for this application. 

There is a ton of info on this at the NASA Web Site. I am not directly
involved with NASA except to pay part of the bill by taxes.
