receive antenna can be tuned to radiate or gather as much energy as,
say, a half-wave dipole. It just takes a very high-Q matching network;
the smaller the antenna, the higher the Q.

For atoms and EM radiation, the Q is really high. For the one case I just
calculated, the Q works out to be about 10^8. If you take the frequency
of line and the line width for the Q value, that is.

Yes, its from Saturday Night Live. The bit was funny. It was making
funny of things like "Point Counterpoint" where one talking head gives an
opinion favorable to one side of the issue and then the other responds.

The SNL variation was that the second person always started with "Jane you
ignorant slut" and then didn't get much better from there.


So it was just like most of the network news shows?

No, it was much more useful.

I'd be one of the open range animals on the back lot;
not particularly dangerous or interesting. The visitors

I feel like the wizened old bachelor chimp, who watches the other

No, that's the warmakers. I was the one who got whacked (If you're

I've said that Bush is a total failure, when I've asked for something he

Probably because that is about the salary of a the typical politician and

As John said there was, a few years ago, a very, very long thread on this very
subject.

It may still be archived. I think google no longer archive this group and they
may have deleted all the old stuff. A great shame if they have.

Firstly. It does indeed work. Apparently some commercial uses of it are
available.

The problem lies in the description of *how* and *why* it works with almost
no-one agreeing on it.

Many engineers dismiss it and simply refuse to accept that it works.

Of those that do agree it works, almost none of them agree on *how* it works.

I personally think the description given in the link above is the correct
explanation. But others will disagree.
