Well, yeah... If you understand EM you could qualify for ketchup
squirting. I was in a Burger King in Binghamton NY once and ordered
a burger with no ketchup. It only took three attempts to not put ketchup
on my burger, the ketchup squirter guy was really industrious. I had
to yell really loudly "NO KETCHUP" as he held the squirter in his
hand poised ready to squirt red goo on the third burger.
He had a badge that read "Hello, I'm Ben", too. Perhaps he's the
same Binge Jocaby and wants to be the new janitor.

You have your knickers in a twist my friend. "Maxwell Revisited" is an
article written by Ivor Catt. Ivor Catt translated his own article into
German and that was at one time on a now defunct website. He refers to
the diagram on that website - which you can manage without if you have
an imagination - to illustrate the text of his article.

I don't think anyone but you mentioned aether.

Antennas are like the Kundt's tube. The voltage is the same like the
pressure. The pressure is also doubled. See:

But I care what your opinin is about the Acoustic analogy,

Yes, the math would be similar. The sonic boom is well known,
the sound pressure rises sufficiently to break windows.
It's no different to a speeding boat making pebbles on
the lakeshore or river bank move.
In the Kundt's tube air molecules are travelling in opposite
directions and meet at a node, doubling the pressure.
In the antenna it's the electrons that do that, but it is the LC
rather than the RC circuit that best models it.

Well... lets add a few MORE components and make the simple RC circuit into
an inverter so that you can get whatever value that you wish across the
capacitor.

That is not what I was talking about.

And I don't care if you don't care if I don't care if...

All the best,

Bill
