ENG PHYSTasks Overview

The aim is to figure out the mechanism of an electromagnetic phenomenon.

Although experimental work is expected, and it’s indeed an important way to claim/disclaim the assumptions I’ve made, however the project is heavily relied on theoretical work.

Two parts: (1) Qualitative assumptions based on literature research (2) Quantitative model to prove/disprove the

assumptions Till now part (1) is almost finished, (2) is in the beginning

stage.

ENG PHYSProject Schedule

Not that “new”: back to 100 years ago, the ingenious scientist/engineer (Eng Phys) N. Tesla was already able to implement a resonance circuit, thus to use only a single wire, energy could be transferred from station 1 to station 2.

ENG PHYSBudget

By choosing suitable values of capacitors and inductors, the displacement current in the single wire could form a standing wave, thus a resonant wave, with a phase difference of 90 degrees between displacement current and voltage. That is with a standing wave, the long-distance divided two parts of the "circuit" could be regarded as simply integrated, thus the energy can be transmitted.
