Paul,

Thanks for you post.  As always, it was interesting.

Of course, I respectfully disagree with all such pedantic and 
absolute statements.  But, that's one of the major entertainments of 
the Tesla list.  Isn't it?

So, if one takes a charged macroscopic body and waves it 
longitudnally back and forth a longitudinal time variable electric 
field is produced.  This field is a variable E field (sans magnetic 
field) and may be received at a distance by various methods empolying 
dielectrics in the receiver.  Real energy is conveyed.  If in doubt, 
this is an experimentally proven fact that you may wish to reproduce 
for youself.

In this electrostatic event energy is surely transferred without the 
benefit of a magnetic field or current.  If you see it otherwise, 
please produce the experiment.
