There was a time when I would have agreed with you. But that was before I taught myself to solve in the magnetic domain where flux is treated like current (or magnetic displacement current)
Unlike current, which is the flow of charges, a magnetic flux is not the flow of any substance. There is no displacement along the magnetic circuit. The field lines are always looped and expand or contract around the conductor according to the current flowing through it.
I know you know this. While engineering simplifications by treating the flow as a current are sometimes convenient, they too often lead to false reasoning in physics, such as the idea of Bearden's MEG and the "magnetic transistor" in general.
In my opinion the problem should be treated by physics, not by engineering. By characterizing your line by the impedance, you are in fact considering it a priori as a simple RLC network, by definition of what an impedance is.
I can tell you that the dielectric surrounding the ferrite rods will carry displacement current, and that will result in the series reluctance chain having a magnetic "component" in series that behaves nothing like electrical ones. I have used D as the symbol for this component, and it obeys mmf=-D*d2(flux)/dt2, the second time differential of the flux. That too has an influence on the propagation velocity. So please don't tell me this line is a network of L and C elements.
A line is a quadrupole. The input is a dipole. The impedance of a dipole is expressed as Z = R + j X. When X is positive, the impedance is inductive. When X is negative, the impedance is capacitive. So if your line is something else, it is not by the impedance that you can characterize its specificities.
Yes, unique as I mention above.
Either you place yourself in the case of a quasi-stationary regime, and then the impedance doesn't depend on the frequency but talking about "line" doesn't make sense anymore, it's a simple network, or you place yourself in the usual framework of use of lines, where the length is greater than the wavelength of the signals, so there is propagation. Then the impedance does not depend on the frequency, but only if the load matches the line impedance. In other cases, so in the general case, it depends on it, and even drastically if the line is for example a quarter wave or half wave.
Sadly my experimental days are over as I draw ever closer to end-of-life. I am trying hard to convince others but I keep getting negative reactions from certain members of this forum.
Not from me anyway, when I criticize it's because I see weak points and I don't agree, I say why, it's not to denigrate.
I generally like your ideas and formalizing them as you do with rigor puts you far above the nonsense we usually see in the FE. If a good idea can appear, it's from works like yours.
But I don't see all your work as being of equal value. This one on lines is not based on physics but on engineering formulas that apply to ordinary lines. Moreover it is contrary to the general principle that, except by integrating an exotic energy source, no overunity can come from the equations of classical physics whose coherence forbids the creation of energy ex nihilo.
Your work on the Magnetic Delay Lines seems therefore to me to be questionable, but this does not invalidate my consideration for your work in general, especially on the potential vector.
As I see your brain working well

, I thought maybe the arms too and you could still experiment. But I understand that with age it can become difficult or painful, I feel sorry for you and understand perfectly that you stay in the realm of ideas.
