ANTENNA PHYSICS 

This section will distill several equations regarding antenna theory and connect the dots using words wrapped around the concepts to enable a complete understanding of antenna theory --- for any technical level.

  

Part 1: The vast difference between electron flow and electric current/displacement flow in a conductor.

To distinguish and visualize the difference between Electron flow and electric current/displacement in a conductor we use the Newtons Cradle instrument --- often considered a toy.  It is used to demonstrate transmission line logic including how waves of electric current propagate in a conductor, impedance mismatch, reflected waves, etc. etc.etc.

A.  Basic mechanics of wave propagation in a conductor.

        1.  Watch this video noting that one bearing is launched at a second resulting in the launched bearing  coming to a stop and the second accelerating to the same speed/energy level as the first.    Video clip 1 bearing slow .  The concept here is, when a bearing is launched at a second  stationary bearing that weighs the same, the first will come to rest exactly the depth of compression plus decompression which is approximately 10 nano-inches and the energy from the first will be transferred to the second.  The displacement current was probably close to 700MPH.   Think of the momentum/velocity as the magnetic energy and the compression the electric field.  Look at 1 bearing of 5.  Each bearing is accelerated contacting the adjacent, compressing decompressing individually and passing the energy to the next while coming to a stop almost in place.
