Discussion Overview
The discussion focuses on the potential to increase the coverage and power usage of the near field effect, particularly in relation to the size of the transmission source and the wavelength involved. Participants explore the feasibility of saturating specific areas with electromagnetic fields and the implications of power requirements for such experiments.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant questions whether the saturation point of the near field effect can be increased to cover a 20'x30' area, considering a wavelength of seventy-five feet.
- Another participant suggests that the near field's size is related to both the wavelength and the size of the source, implying that a larger wave source would be necessary for a larger near field.
- A different participant discusses the relationship between the transmission antenna size and frequency, mentioning specific dimensions for coils and questioning the feasibility of saturating a ten-foot square chamber with a specific power requirement.
- There is a mention of the possibility of repeating experiments at varying distances with more powerful radio frequency generators (RFG) and larger transmission and receiving antennas.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express differing views on the relationship between the size of the source and the near field effect, indicating that the discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing perspectives on the feasibility of the proposed experiments.
Contextual Notes
Participants have not reached a consensus on the necessary conditions for achieving the desired saturation of the near field effect, and there are unresolved assumptions regarding power requirements and antenna sizes.
