Rediscovering the ZENNECK Surface Wave PDF Print E-mail
Technology - Miscellaneous




In 1916 while speaking of his system for global transmission, Nikola Tesla

cited the analysis of mathematician Arnold N. Sommerfeld as verification of

his explanations of observed radio phenomena. Tesla was referring to his

system in which 90% to 95% of the electrical energy was manifested at the

transmitters output as "current waves" with the remainder directed to the

antenna structure, resulting in dissipating EM radiation.



In 1909 another investigator by the name of Johann Zenneck, while working to

explain Marconi's trans-oceanic results, showed that a unique type of surface

wave could travel along the interface between the ground and the air. In the

words of Dr. James Corum,



"The distinguishing feature of the Zenneck wave was that the propagating

energy didn't spread like radiation, but was concentrated near the guiding

surface. Sommerfeld had shown that an electromagnetic wave could be guided

along a wire of finite conductivity, and Zenneck conceived that the earth's

SURFACE would perform in a manner similar to a SINGLE CONDUCTING WIRE."



In commenting on Sommerfeld's analysis of the surface wave, Dr. James R. Wait

states that "The field amplitude varies inversely AS THE SQUARE ROOT of the

horizontal distance from the source..." It is interesting to note that

Sommerfeld made a point of distinguishing between the "electrodynamic" SURFACE

WAVE and its Hertzian counterpart the SPACE WAVE, believing that both

components could be present in VARYING PROPORTION in the WAVE COMPLEX. It was

Tesla's assertion that the exact composition of the emissions was dependant

upon the design of the transmitter.



As the study of radio propagation progressed and certain mathematical analyses

EXCLUDED IT, some question as to the existence of the Zenneck surface waves

began to develop. In 1937 limited support was given to these doubts after

tests showed SIMPLE ANTENNAS driven at 150mHZ produced 100 times LOWER field

strength than predicted.



More recent investigations show evidence that Zenneck waves can, indeed, be

generated. The LOWER the frequency, the lower the PROPAGATION LOSSES.



It is also apparent that they are NOT a major contributor to the field

produced by an electric dipole or quarter wave RADIATOR, however they can be

strongly excited by a quarter wave RESONATOR! Once again to quote Dr. Corum,



"the resulting wave is a SURFACE GUIDED (single conductor) TRANSMISSION LINE

mode which attenuates EXPONENTIALLY ALONG THE GUIDE... There is NO INVERSE

SQUARE spreading or DIFFRACTION, as with Hertzian waves... With

appropriate constitutive parameters, a pure Zenneck wave would seem to hold

out the promise of GUIDED PROPAGATION with NO radiation field to WASTE

ENERGY."



Plots of field strength vs. frequency indicate that a Zenneck wave propagates

best at ELF and VLF frequencies and would lose much of its advantage as

frequency rose ABOVE 1mHZ.

Vanguard Note



A sample of a new Russian magazine AURA-Z was sent to KeelyNet almost one

year ago. On the back cover was an advertisement for papers describing a

'new' effect that had been discovered for the transmission of power over a

single very fine wire.



The wire could be cut and tied in a bow, yet the power still flowed over the

wire. It used something called a 'monovibrator' to produce the peculiar

wave necessary to achieve this effect. There was no technical data except

for that offered in the papers for $100.



Power transmitted over a wire (note over, not through) is subject to

dissipation through impedance, capacitance, inductance and resistance.



Hooper showed that a moebius coil could produce what he called a 'motional

wave' or a wave of PURE ELECTRIC CHARGE. When energy moves through matter,

it is sapped capacitively (electrostatic) and inductively (magnetically).

The pure electric wave was not sapped in any way and so could be transmitted

over enormous distances with no signal loss.



Propagation of such a signal through a transmission line or conductive path

apparently takes the form of successive solitons that regenerate their

spherical pattern much like a smoke ring vortex. It is an enfolded

structure consisting of high rotation energy in the doughnut shape.



This ties in with Walter Russell's claims that energy rings form, transmute

and destory matter, as well as with Larry Spring's claim that energy

propagates through space in the form of successive spheres as he had

measured by field strength mapping of fixed frequency transmitters.



The point here is that everyone is using similar terms and concepts to

describe the same thing. The bottomline will be a circuit which we can all

use to verify the truth of it and then put it TO PRACTICAL USE in doing real

work.

From the October 1994 New Energy News

New Electric Transmission



Y. Egorov (Russia) "Can't it exist?" Izobretatel i Ratsionalizator, 1992, no

5-6, p. 1. Translated and summarized by Igor Goryachev.



According to the information published in the Russian magazine INVENTOR AND

DEVELOPER, a new opportunity to transmit electric energy has been discovered.



As it was demonstrated by scientist Vladislav Avramenko at the Russian (former

All-Union) Electro-Technical Institute in Moscow, it is now possible to

transmit electric energy through just a SINGLE WIRE (similar to

superconductivity at room temperature). The article does not disclose the

details of the method. It does say that the primary power source generates

electric energy in OSCILLATING FORM in the RANGE OF SOUND FREQUENCIES.



This energy is then transmitted in a regular way to a small monovibrator

(which is the inventor's secret). Only one wire goes out of the monovibrator.

The wire extremity is connected by means of this single wire to a small

(match-box size) box. The box has a regular double contact OUTLET thus

providing a power supply for electric bulbs and other devices.



It is disclosed that the energy transmission through a single wire occurs when

the appropriate frequency (not specified) has been ADJUSTED (tuned) at the

input of the monovibrator.



If the single wire has been cut there is no need to solder the ends of the

wire; it is sufficient to tie the separated ends with a bow knot in order to

restore the line. They measured the loss of energy in the single wire when

transmitting relavity HIGH POWER over the distance of 100 meters. It was

reported to be ALMOST ZERO.



The phenomenon disclosed contradicts contemporary accepted science. But the

article claims it works! This information, if accurately presented, suggests

that some type of scalar-wave transmission might be involved. A normal

electric sonic frequency signal would be unlikely to travel (or be guided)

along a conductor of 100 m without significant losses.

Vanguard Note



As a further comment, John Bedini has been building custom amplifiers for

several years now using scalar transmission principles. These amplifiers

are used in Peter Kelly's BETAR stress cancelling device (see CONTACT1 for

the address of Interdimensional Sciences). Peter says they can generate

100's of watts of acoustic energy over a single strand of wire using a

scalar signal. The energy is normally generated, converted at the amplifier

into scalar form, sent over the wire, then re-constituted at the receiving

speaker.



As I understand it, a scalar field can be generated from just about any type

of energy, sound, electricity, magnetism, light, etc.. That energy simply

has to be IN VIBRATION so that it can be 180 degree phase reversed to create

the hyperspace bubble or the soliton bubble called a scalar potential or a

scalar field, or even a 'quantum potential'.



These bubbles can be sent down a guided conductor as successively driven

bubbles for information or energy transmission. When I explained this idea

to Bob Beck at a workshop with he and Ed Skilling, Bob said that was the

best explanation he'd ever heard for scalars.



So, the energy is vibrating at a frequency determined by the vibration

across the diameter of the mass structure. When this frequency (ies in some

cases) is phase reversed, it creates the scalar potential bubble. The

energy disappears from our detection threshold and creates a stress wave in

hyperspace. From that point, it can be sent to a target where it is

received, the phase restored to 3 space coordinates and the energy is again

available for use, all with the minimum diminution of energy.



The one major problem is our understanding of how to receive these scalar

bubbles. Transmission appears to be simply a 180 degree phase shift, done

with a bifilar wire to cancel the magnetic component, a moebius to create

the one dimensional surface (pure electric wave of Hooper) or a caduceus.



For reception of a scalar potential, the bubble still has a vibrational

component that can be accessed via resonance. Using a caduceus or moebius

antenna tuned to the frequency of the transmitted scalar bubble, it would be

received but not detectable with normal instrumentation UNTIL the phase had

been restored. It is best understood as an enfolding process where the wave

is folded onto itself (like a doughnut vortex), moved to the target, then

opened back up.



I have also been told that the scalar is a kind of building block for all

energy. Once the energy has been converted to the base form of scalar, it

can be 're-converted' to any type of energy in our 3 space. Thus, using

scalars, you could convert sound to scalar, then scalar back into

electricity or light to scalar, then back to magnetism.



At this time, I think the form of the re-conversion back to 3 space is

dependent on the medium used for its reception. That is a coil would

produce magnetic energy, a capacitor would produce electrostatic energy and

I have no idea how sound would be produced direct from scalar energy. There

are indications it is a matter of frequency based on the 'aether spectrum'

as shown in the file NEUTRAL1 on KeelyNet.



At this point, perhaps these correlations will lead to something practical.

It is not overunity because we are dealing with power transmission, not

generation. Where this information is useful, is in providing very high

transmission efficiencies approaching unity, but that is a start...>>> Jerry
