You do have a point that this paper does not explain everything in detail and lacks the math. You can find the math here:

http://www.k-meyl.de/go/60_Primaerliteratur/Faraday-or-Maxwell.pdf

Also there are some critical papers here:

http://www.info.global-scaling-verein.de/Documents/ElectricScalarWaves-ReviewToMeylsExperiment01.PDF
http://www.zpenergy.com/downloads/Orig_maxwell_equations.pdf

Haven't read them yet, but they appear interesting.

The point is that *if* this thing works, it is not working by magnetic coupling, but by coupling via the electric field alone, by means of longitudinal electric waves. While I by no means want to claim that these exist beyond a shadow of a doubt, I do think Meyls story on the Maxwell equations has a lot going for it, even though I am not convinced at all these would travel at a speed greater than that of light.

And I am aware that there are a lot of ifs and buts, and I certainly do doubt this specific device works because it appears to be quite clumsy, but you cannot rule out the possibility that a device like that may be possible, if you are willing to accept the possibility that longitudinal waves may exist.

And if they do, that may have far stretching consequences. As Meyl puts it:

"This new and unified view of physics shall be summarized with the term theory of objectivity“. As we shall derive, it will be possible to deduce the theory of relativity as a partial aspect of it [1, chapter 6 and 28]."

That suggests that you would eventually have to ditch Einsteins relativity theory, as Dr. Charles Kenneth Thornhill talks about:

http://www.etherphysics.net/

So, things may become very interesting if this device or something similar would really hit the market.

I didn't mean to be insulting, but the author does make some pretty bold statements and sounds like he knows it all, while obviously he does not.

For example, he speaks of a "SINGLE wireless power experiment that worked recently", while obviously there are at least two, the experiments by MIT and the experiments by Meyl: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1426638491693188239&q=meyl

And also the title of his post as well as "It will NEVER fill the pool though" suggests a certain arrogance, which IMHO justified a little critical note in my reply.

As far as I understand Meyls theories, it appears to be possible to couple two resonators capacitively and when this happens, you get a (near?) standing electric wave between the two "capacitor plates", which would consist of what you would normally consider to be the antennas.

According to Meyl, the electric field lines are then no longer radiated in all directions, but close in between the "capacitor plates".

If you take a look at this page for example: http://www.dannex.se/theory/1.html
you see a very common picture at the top, showing the electric field lines concentrating between two opposite charges, instead of radiating out in all directions.

When there is resonance between two capacitively coupled systems and the two systems are out of phase, it appears not that far fetched to assume that it is indeed possible that the field lines are concentrating between the two "capacitor plates" exactly the same way, especially if there is a (near) standing wave between the capacitor plates and that you could get a very tight coupling that way, with the ability to transfer more energy than with RF waves, exactly because of this concentration of the field lines. I guess you could say you automagically get a directed energy beam this way.

And yes, you are probably right that this [w/c]ould also make an effective WiFi jamming device. There's really no way to know.

This device, if it works, is anything *but* simple absorbtion, and with all respect, Tesla's magnifying transmitter is very relevant in understanding the possible working principle of this device, should it work. And this has (almost) nothing to do with a Tesla coil, which is indeed a step-up transformer.

"Tesla played with "harmonic" or "tuned" energy, eg take two tuning forks tuned to the same frequency, tap one to set it going, and hold it three inches away from the second one, the second one will start to vibrate, you just transferred energy."

Yes, but he did cover a bit more distance than just three inches:

http://www.k-meyl.de/go/60_Primaerliteratur/Wireless-Energy-Transfer.pdf

"New problems will occur to the HF-specialist, when in my experiment the distance between the transmitter and the receiver is 10-times more than the near zone.
Students of the TU-Berlin have shown and proofed this. Tesla as well had demonstrated a power transmission over 30 miles, whereas his near field was less than half a mile. I have shown how vortices are forming and how they come off the dipole, that the fields in the near zone of a Hertzian dipole are longitudinal scalar wave fields. But the scalar waves of Tesla and of my experiment show even more."

So, maybe you should educate yourself a bit more, before questioning the education of others.

Not necessarily, *if* longitudinal electric waves are used instead of Herzian waves. See Nasa's "Advanced Energetics for Aeronautical Applications: Volume II":

http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20050170447_2005172301.pdf
"Meyl helps resolve the controversy between longitudinal and transverse waves by explaining that the high-voltage "spark" transmitters used in the early days of radio actually transmitted both longitudinal and transverse waves (Ref. 33, p. 459). The characterization of the type of radio technology employed was in the receiver, not the transmitter. Tesla's equipment would only receive longitudinal waves, whereas the equipment of Hertz and other pioneer radio inventors (such as Marconi) were designed to receive only transverse waves. Because both types of waves (longitudinal and transverse) were being transmitted, both viewpoints of how the technology functioned were correct."

If Prof. Meyl is right and any normal RF transmitter indeed transmits both kinds of waves, then you could design a receiver tuned for these longitudinal waves, which according to Meyl can give a very tight coupling between transmitter and reciever and thus a very high efficiency in terms of energy transmission. From the same document:

"Meyl points out the wastefulness of Hertzian wave technology for communicating point to point (Ref. 33, pp. 482-485). With conventional Hertzian waves, only a very small fraction of transmitted energy arrives at the intended point of reception. In contrast to this, scalar wave communication, where the energy couples to the receiver (at resonance), could (according to Meyl) allow one to "carry out a telephone call right through the Earth" with the power expenditure of only a few microwatts."

So, the key then seems to be that transmitter and receiver are in resonance, coupled by the electric field, *not* the magnetic field.

Meyl explicitly talks about distances greater than the near-field:

http://www.k-meyl.de/go/60_Primaerliteratur/Wireless-Energy-Transfer.pdf

"In the near field of an antenna effects are measured, which on the one hand go as inexplicable, because they evade the normally used field theory, which on the other hand come the by me shown scalar wave effects very close. Everyone knows a practical application: e.g. at the entrance of department stores, where the customer has to go through in between of scalar wave detectors.

New problems will occur to the HF-specialist, when in my experiment the distance between the transmitter and the receiver is 10-times more than the near zone. Students of the TU-Berlin have shown and proofed this. Tesla as well had demonstrated a power transmission over 30 miles, whereas his near field was less
than half a mile. I have shown how vortices are forming and how they come off the dipole, that the fields in the near zone of a Hertzian dipole are longitudinal scalar wave fields. But the scalar waves of Tesla and of my experiment show even more."

According to Nasa's "Advanced Energetics for Aeronautical Applications: Volume II" Tesla did get it working:

http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20050170447_2005172301.pdf

"However, Tesla's claims were backed up with documented experimental demonstrations rather than mathematical equations. In the following quotation, Meyl describes one of Tesla's demonstrations and states that Hertz's technology could not have accomplished such a demonstration:

In Colorado Springs he had built a 10 kW transmitting installation and lighted
200 fluorescent lamps of 50 Watt each on a mountain in the Rocky Mountains in a
distance of 25 miles. With that he had completely transmitted the transmission
power of 10 kW, as can be inferred from the press reports at that time. With
Hertzian waves, which propagate spatially, this experiment even today, after over
100 years, wouldn't be realizable technologically. According to the law of the
square of the distance one isn't even able to let glow a tiny little lamp in such a
distance.

Meyl helps resolve the controversy between longitudinal and transverse waves by explaining that the high-voltage "spark" transmitters used in the early days of radio actually transmitted both longitudinal and transverse waves (Ref. 33, p. 459). The characterization of the type of radio technology employed was in the receiver, not the transmitter. Tesla's equipment would only receive longitudinal waves, whereas the equipment of Hertz and other pioneer radio inventors (such as Marconi) were designed to receive only transverse waves. Because both types of waves (longitudinal and transverse) were being transmitted, both viewpoints of how the technology functioned were correct."

Dr. Ron Stiffler has also done some interesting experiments with wireless transmission of energy:

http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable-energy/3934-high-voltage-thin-air-56.html#post76819

The calculations posted here and elsewhere are based on the assumption that the device uses standard transverse electro-magnetic waves for the energy transport. In principle, it could also be possible to use longitudinal electric waves, even though this is generally assumed to be impossible, because it is assumed there are no free charge carriers in vacuum that could support longitudinal electric waves.

However, the Maxwell equations are based on Faradays experiments and while Faraday was a physicist, Maxwell was a mathematician. Maxwell postulated the concept of charge carriers as causing the electro-magnetic field, while at the present day it is known that EM waves cause matter to exist and not the other way around. So, one can certainly not rule out the possibility that longitudinal electric waves are possible after all.

This is exactly what the German Professor Meyl points out:
http://www.k-meyl.de/go/60_Primaerliteratur/Scalar-Waves.pdf
http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable-energy/3545-konstantin-meyl-scalar-faraday-vs-maxwell.html

According to Meyl, one can achieve a very thight coupling between transmitter and reciever and achieve almost 100% efficiency in the transmission of energy.

This means that if this thing works, one will have consider the existence of longitudinal waves a very serious possibility.

s/dark matter of black energy/dark matter OR black energy/

Well, maybe "any postulate at all" was a bit too much.

However, if you describe matter and fields using rotating vortexes, you get very good results without needing to postulate the dark matter of black energy astronomers are looking for. Everything appears to natually fall into place, from the very small to the very big.

Ok. Let's go trough them again.

1. No problem.

2. You're right, I referred to a web forum I happen to like, that refers to the actual content I intended to point to. Maybe not the smartest choice, but that's what I did.

The guy we're talking about here, Prof. Meyl, teaches the subjects power electronics and alternative energy technology at the University of Applied Sciences in Furtwangen. This is his homepage: http://www.meyl.eu/

This is a paper where he discusses scalar waves and what's wrong with the Maxwell equations we use:
http://www.k-meyl.de/go/60_Primaerliteratur/scalar_wave-effects.pdf

I have read it, it makes sense to me and is well written and thought trough.

3. This is the English version of the "complete work on energy-conversion" by Prof. Turtur at the University of Braunschweig/Wolfenbuettel. Here is more of his work, with at the bottom a list of publications:
http://public.rz.fh-wolfenbuettel.de/~turtur/physik/

So, he published more than just this, on more sites.

Beside that, I don't care that much about where I find a document, I care more about wether or not it makes sense to me.

4. After studying some of the work of Meyl and Bearden, I came to the conclusion that both of them are right about the Maxwell equations being incomplete. And it may be that this is not a site you might call thrustworthy at first sight, but then again: don't shoot the messenger.

5. I actually think this is a very good paper, but hard to understand when you're new to the subject, because there's a lot of stuff in there that you will need to look up, like f.e. "Heaviside component".

All in all, to me, these are sources that offer a lot of insight into the subject, but you will have to be prepared to really read a few of the papers trough and draw your own conclusions about what these guys actually say. You might be surprised by what you read.

As an introduction, the video presentation by prof Meyl as referred by the energetic forum might be a good start. It doesn't take a lot of time, but you still get an idea about what these guys are talking about.
