Re: ee's without math

J C Bose was experimenting with mm-waves in 1895 or so.

Not any place I ever worked.

Engineers don't go if for that kind of display. Marketing and management both did, to some extent, mostly, when they needed to create an impression, but engineers never bothered. They had better ways of attracting attention.

Why should I resist pointing out that John Larkin doesn't have a track record when it comes to generating original ideas? His idea that he knows enough to write off Einstein as a "professor type" makes it fairly clear that he doesn't know much about them either.

They'd have to make a long trip to get to Sydney.

Reference?

That was pretty amazing work for the time. Remember, no vacuum tubes or transistors. I was wondering how he generated and detected his microwaves. The generator was a spherical resonator with spark gaps on diametrically opposed sides, driven by an induction coil. The contraption resonated at 60GHz or so.

The detector was a box with two metal sides and springs in between, probably having some non-linear conductance because of oxidation of its parts. With that, he was able to demonstrate wave guides, horn antennas, polarization, refraction, diffraction and reflection of his waves.

An amazing genius.

The US deficit in cents run to 100,000,000,000,000.00 That is 17 digits. Regular calculators are no good for the US deficit. You can order an abacus from Ali express with 17 digits, but most are 13 digits.
