Another win for classical mechanics.

My son and I are reading the Hidden Truth books. Fun stuff. Dr. Prat-Camps (unfortunate name, there) had better be careful…

“The findings run contrary to long-established beliefs of magnetic coupling, which emerge from the four Maxwell equations dating back to the seminal works of Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century.”

Could the author possibly have written a more asinine comment? The scientists themselves said they first derived the possibility from Maxwell’s (Heaviside) Equations. These equations are far more fundamental than Newton’s mechanics, and they are preserved and part of Special and General Relativity and quantum mechanics.

I wonder how fast it operates or if it would work with light??? A little far fetched but it’s my understanding that people trying to build solar panels that use antennas to capture sunlight just like a radio antenna could not get the diodes to operate fast enough to rectify the electric fields. Lear of Lear jet fame worked on this. I believe he called them “luminoid” panels. A bunch of people have worked on this but I don;t think they have the problem licked yet.
