Gosh Scotty!,
I sure hope you didn't find my request for clarification harsh.
Most of us (Thought we) knew that anything other than the
written words in that document were from Maximiliano Taverna.
Your an awsome poster, and a person whom might know more accurately
what the real story on the text/sketch aspect of all this is personally
if your also Loadstone @ EF, and I can go by your posts in the thread referenced.
My head spun when I saw you word it like this:
"...that document was not written by Leedskalnin",
I was truely hoping I read/interpreted that wrong somehow.
We all have lives tearing us from what we would rather do,
so we all understand it may be a while to finish a CAD project.
I, for one, look forward to a corrected set of illustrations
to go with Ed's thoughts comitted to paper we all know.
Best of luck with that endeavor sir.
On this threads topic now,
has anyone noticed a similarity to this linear example,
and the rotary example used everywhere on power poles ?
When you take apart a step-down transformer from a pole,
and get past that lovely gooey dialectric they use in them,
all you have is a yodel of metal plates forming induction coupling.
there are no "Windings" in the traditional sense,
as one might expect to find in there...
One can get the impression they are just like
the typical layout of an electrolytic capacitor,
but things I have read on forums by power workers
seem to indicate they believe they operate by induction.
That is not far from the preposed "magnetic current" postulated here,
just rolled up like a yodel into a more compact form for utility use.
If his linear illustrative example model was rolled up,
we would all just call it a transformer and be done with it.
By being a set of straight wires, it still is a transformer,
but it makes us think a little harder about the whole thing,
and just what it is that might be happening there, right ?
