I'm still waiting big boy. :-)  I will continue to ask until you point
out my error, in detail.  Again -->

Error of omission. Can't see the wood for the trees.

Richard - give up. This guy makes Brad Guth seem sane. Though the
underlying proof that he himself knows he's mad is that he refuses to
take any of his so called science beyond his fevered rantings and
actually build anything.

I gave him the equations and he couldn't use them.

Yes, it's been entertaining but there are limits. I'm starting to feel a bit like the people who went to Bedlam to poke the lunatics with sticks.

He'll pick on subjects to obsess on and refuse to admit his own errors.

Did you miss the equally long thread about how he's going to disprove QM by propagating half a photon? That was based on measuring a voltage (he's the king of voltage measurements) and using macroscopic assumptions to calculate the energy of the "half-photon".

I still swear its Dennis B under a new name.

I imagine his wife (if he has one) even has to wire the plugs for him.

It's a shame, because there's actually some quite elegant physics associated with 2-wire transmission lines, of the obvious-once-you've-seen-it variety. No matter what the cross-section of the conductors, E and H are mutually perpendicular everywhere between them and in the same ratio, and as a result the product of inductance and capacitance per unit length is a (fundamental!) constant. You could say all transmission lines are conformal transformations of each other. Ain't geometry wonderful!
