I was still talking about the single wire transmission as it too involves both flows of energy.
It still involves sub-atomic particles as any flow of electric energy does.
I am not sure what you mean by the sub-atomic particles but I assume that you don't mean electrons. For the single-wire transmission example your comments about increasing amplitude corresponding to production and decreasing amplitude corresponding with consumption doesn't really make sense. On the rising and falling slopes of the waveform power can be transferred into the fluorescent light load. The generic way to describe this example is that the power source has some sort of output waveform and associated output impedance. The power flows into a "load" which has an associated input impedance. The load in this case is a length of wire that terminates with some sort of coupling to a fluorescent light. So the power source's waveform flows through the output impedance "black box" and then into the into the load impedance "black box." The output of the system is the lit fluorescent light. You can assume that the source waveform and the output impedance associated with it are fixed, and the load impedance can be variable. So how much power flows and the waveform of that power flow is all determined by the source waveform and the two impedances. If you physically move the fluorescent light it might change in brightness because you change the load impedance when you do that. The power that lights up the fluorescent light after all of that impedance talk is still good old fashioned voltage times current. You can call the whole setup a "filter," the input to the filter is the driving waveform and the output of the filter is the lit fluorescent light. In essence, any type of Stiffler-type circuit you play with is a filter. That's why LEDs change brightness when you play with tunings in the circuit, you are changing the characteristics of the filter. MileHigh
