I think we are in agreement Mike.
However I might correct you slightly on one point. The transmitter sees the coax, then the effects of the load and coax together if the load is mismatched. If the load is perfectly matched, then the transmitter really only sees the coax, because the effect of the load is nil.
Again, the gist of my argument is about what effect, if any, the coax length has on the power transferred to the load, whether it be a matched load or mismatched load. It turns out that no matter what impedance or VSWR the transmitter sees (affected by coax length), the load will always dissipate the same power, assuming the transmitter doesn't shut itself down or throttle back its power.
We are both head cases, semantics enters our typing, I personally agree with you, we are both right in the end, semantics apart, what a world of egg heads we live in
I think if we were talking face to face we would have agreed in 30sec. I have a problem to express myself for two reasons, one is English has become a second language after living and speaking daily Spanish for over 25yrs, my age hasn't helped,64, second I have had over a dozen very small stokes which has affected small parts of my memory (names of things,spelling in English, can't remember if I have seen something before when I really have etc etc.) small detail, but frustrating, called short term memory by my doctor
The biggest problem I have is when people do not take me seriously, what frustration for me, drives me mad, probably I am
. I have given some things (not complete) to people on this forum, and they have not seen the potential of what has been given, you have had access to this
they were things that came by accident and not overall design (that's how life is most of the time).
LENR, I think Steven saw through this straight away, I have had tests done and the explanations, NONE, apart from NR. It's not my field, but I CAN hold my own to a point, and it is repeatable time after time if people do not change things to suit themselves.
Sorry about the rant on a thread that does not warrant this, but I think the thread is now dead and done anyway. Just drunk half a bottle of wine for lunch and had to get this off my chest
Look, anyone, at the photo below and explain what you see. The tube is 316 SS food quality, time in reactor around 30min, look very carefully, amplify it, it is 10mp, and explain the colouring and the pitting in relation to the untouched part (out of reactor), input power 12v @ 2amps @ 40% duty "why the colours and why the pitting" look carefully at the pitting "the form of the edges", I know, but asking if someone else knows
There is more to this than meets the eye
Poynt if you want to speak to me directly let me know, I use skype as you know, and my handle is as here on the forum.
Again sorry for the rant
regards
Mike
