Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

Field-physical basis for electrically coupled bidirectional
far range transponders, such as Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower

Abstract

With the current RFID technology the transfer of energy takes place on a
chip card by means of longitudinal wave components in close range of the
transmitting antenna. Those are scalar waves, which spread towards the
electrical or the magnetic field pointer.
In the wave equation with reference to the Maxwell field equations, these
wave components are set to zero, why only postulated model computations
exist, after which the range is limited to the sixth part of the wavelength.
A goal of this paper is to create, by consideration of the scalar wave compo-
nents in the wave equation, the physical conditions for the development of
scalar wave transponders which are operable beyond the close range. The
energy is transferred with the same carrier wave as the information and
not over two separated ways as with RFID systems. Besides the bi-direc-
tional signal transmission, the energy transfer in both directions is addi-
tionally possible because of the resonant coupling between transmitter and
receiver.
First far range transponders developed on the basis of the extended field
equations are already functional as prototypes, according to the US-Patent
No. 787,412 of Nikola Tesla, New York 1905 [1].

1. Introduction

Abstract of the practical setting of tasks

Transponders serve the transmission of energy e.g. on a chip card in

combination with a back transmission of information. The range is
with the presently marketable devices (RFID technology) under one me-
ter [2]. The energy receiver must be in addition in close range of the
transmitter.

The far range transponders developed by the first transfer centre for sca-
lar wave technology are able to transfer energy beyond close range (10 to
100 m) and besides with fewer losses and/or a higher efficiency. The en-
ergy with the same carrier wave is transferred as the information and
not as with the RFID technology over two separated systems [2].

A condition for new technologies is a technical-physical understanding,

as well as a mathematically correct and comprehensive field description,
which include all well known effects of close range of an antenna. We en-
counter here a central problem of the field theory, which forms the em-
phasis of this paper and the basis for advancements in the transponder
technology.

Requirements at transponders

In today's times of Blue tooth and Wireless LAN one accustomed fast to
the amenities of wireless communication. These open for example garage
gates, the barrier of the parking lot or the trunk is lid only by radio.

However, in the life span limited and the often polluting batteries in the
numerous radio transmitters and remote maintenance are of great disad-
vantage.

Ever more frequently the developers see themselves confronted with the
demand after a wireless transfer of energy. Accumulators are to be re-
loaded or replaced completely. In entrance control systems (ski elevator,
stages, department stores…) these systems are already successful in use.
Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 245

But new areas of application with increased requirements are constantly

added apart from the desire for a larger range:
• in telemetry plants rotary sensors are to be supplied with energy (in the
car e.g. to control tire pressure).
• also with heat meters the energy should come from a central unit and be
spread wirelessly in the whole house to the heating cost meters without
the use of batteries
• in airports contents of freight containers are to be seized, without these
to having be opened (security checks).
• the forwarding trade wants to examine closed truck charges by tran-
sponder technology.
• in the robot and handling technique the wirings are to be replaced by a
wireless technology (wear problem).
• portableradio devices, mobile phones, Notebooks and remote controls
working without batteries and Accumulators (reduction of the envi-
ron-mental impact).

A technical solution, which is based on pure experimenting and trying, is

to be optimised unsatisfactorily and hardly. It should stand rather on a
field-theoretically secured foundation, whereby everyone thinks first of
Maxwell’s field equations. Here however a new hurdle develops itself un-
der close occupation.

Problem of the field theory

In the close range of an antenna, so the current level of knowledge is, are
longitudinal -towards a field pointer, portions of the radiated wave pres-
ent. These are usable in the transponder technology for the wireless
transmission of energy. The range amounts to however only l/2p and that
is approximately the sixth part of the wavelength [3].

The problem consists now of the fact that the valid field theory, and that
is from Maxwell, only is able to describes transversal and no longitudinal
wave components. All computations of longitudinal waves or wave com-
ponents, which run toward the electrical or the magnetic pointer of the
field, are based without exception on postulates [4].

The near field is not considered in vain as an unresolved problem of the

field theory. The experimental proof may succeed, not however the
field-theoretical proof.

Field equations according to Maxwell

A short derivation brings it to light. We start with the law of induction

according to the textbooks

curl E = – dB/dt (1.1)

with the electric field strength E = E(r,t) and the magnetic field strength
H = H(r,t)

and: B = m · H (1. relation of material), (1.2)

apply the curl-operation to both sides of the equation

– curl curl E = m · d(curl H)/dt (1.3)

and insert in the place of curl H Ampere’s law:

curl H = j + dD/dt (1.4)

with j = s · E (Ohm’s law) (1.5)

with D = e · E (2. relation of material) (1.6)

and t1 = e/s (relaxation time [5]) (1.7)

curl H = e · (E/t1 + dE/dt) (1.8)

– curl curl E = m · e · (1/t1 · dE/dt + d2E/dt2) (1.9)

with the abbreviation: m · e = 1/c2. (1.10)

The generally known result describes a damped electro-magnetic wave

[6]:

– curl curl E · c2 = d2E/dt2 + (1/t1) · dE/dt (1.11)

transverse – wave + vortex damping

On the one hand it is a transverse wave. On the other hand there is an

damping term in the equation, which is responsible for the losses of an
antenna. It indicates the wave component, which is converted into stand-
Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 247

ing waves, which can be also called field vortices, that produce vortex
losses for their part with the time constant t1 in the form of heat.

Where however do, at close range of an antenna proven and with tran-
sponders technically used longitudinal wave components hide themselves
in the field equation (1.11)?

Wave equation according to Laplace

The wave equation found in most textbooks has the form of an

inhomogeneous Laplace equation. The famous French mathematician
Laplace considerably earlier than Maxwell did find a comprehensive for-
mulation of waves and formulated it mathematically:

DE · c2 = – curl curl E · c2 + grad div E · c2 = d2E/dt2 (1.12)

Laplace transverse- longitudinal- wave

operator (radio wave) (scalar wave)

On the one side of the wave equation the Laplace operator stands, which
describes the spatial field distribution and which according to the rules of
vector analysis can be decomposed into two parts. On the other side the
description of the time dependency of the wave can be found as an
inhomogeneous term.

The wave equations in the comparison

If the wave equation according to Laplace (1.12) is compared to the one,

which the Maxwell equations have brought us (1.11), then two differ-
ences clearly come forward:

1. In the Laplace equation the damping term is missing.

2. With divergence E a scalar factor appears in the wave equation, which

founds a scalar wave.

One practical example of a scalar wave is the plasma wave. This case
forms according to the

3. Maxwell equation: div D = e · div E = rel (1.13)

248 Meyl, K.: Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

the space charge density consisting of charge carriers rel the scalar por-
tion. These move in form of a shock wave longitudinal forward and pres-
ent in its whole an electric current.

Since both descriptions of waves possess equal validity, we are entitled in

the sense of a coefficient comparison to equate the damping term due to
eddy currents according to Maxwell (1.11) with the scalar wave term ac-
cording to Laplace (1.12).

Physically seen the generated field vortices form and establish a scalar
wave.

The presence of div E proves a necessary condition for the occurrence of

eddy currents. Because of the well known skin effect [7] expanding and
damping acting eddy currents, which appear as consequence of a current
density j , set ahead however an electrical conductivity s (acc. to eq. 1.5).

The view of duality

Within the near field range of an antenna opposite conditions are pres-
ent. With bad conductivity in a general manner a vortex with dual char-
acteristics would be demanded for the formation of longitudinal wave
components. I want to call this contracting antivortex, unlike to the ex-
panding eddy current, a potential vortex.

If we examine the potential vortex with the Maxwell equations for valid-
ity and compatibility, then we would be forced to let it fall directly again.
The derivation of the damped wave equation (1.1 to 1.11) can take place
in place of the electrical, also for the magnetic field strength. Both wave
equations (1.11 and 1.12) do not change thereby their shape. In the
inhomogeneous Laplace equation in this dual case however, the longitudi-
nal scalar wave component through div H is described and this is accord-
ing to Maxwell zero!

4. Maxwell’s equation: div B = m · div H = 0 (1.14)

If is correct, then there may not be a near field, no wireless transfer of

energy and finally also no transponder technology. Therefore, the correct-
ness is permitted (of eq. 1.14) to question and examine once, what would
result thereby if potential vortices exist and develop in the air around an
antenna scalar waves, as the field vortices form among themselves a
shock wave.
Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 249

Besides still another boundary problem will be solved: since in div D elec-
trical monopoles can be seen (1.13) there should result from duality to
div B magnetic monopoles (1.14). But the search was so far unsuccessful
[8]. Vortex physics will ready have an answer.

2. The approach

Faraday instead of Maxwell

If a measurable phenomenon should, e.g. the close range of an antenna,

not be described with the field equations according to Maxwell mathe-
matically, then prospect is to be held after a new approach. All efforts
that want to prove the correctness of the Maxwell theory with the
Maxwell theory end inevitably in a tail-chase, which does not prove any-
thing in the end.

In a new approach high requirements are posed. It may not contradict

the Maxwell theory, since these supply correct results in most practical
cases and may be seen as confirmed. It would be only an extension per-
missible, in which the past theory is contained as a subset e.g. Let’s go on
the quest.

Vortex and anti-vortex

In the eye of a tornado the same calm

prevails as at great distance, because
here a vortex and its anti-vortex work
against each other. In the inside the
expanding vortex is located and on
the outside the contracting anti-vor-
tex. One vortex is the condition for
the existence of the other one and
vice versa. Already Leonardo da
Vinci knew both vortices and has de-
scribed the dual manifestations [9].

In the case of flow vortices the viscos-

ity determines the diameter of the
vortex tube where the coming off will
occur. If for instance a tornado soaks
250 Meyl, K.: Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

itself with water above the open ocean, then the contracting potential
vortex is predominant and the energy density increases threateningly. If
it however runs overland and rains out, it again becomes bigger and less
dangerous.

In fluidics the connections are understood. They are usually also well vis-
ible and without further aids observable.

In electrical engineering it’s different: here field vortices remain invisi-

ble. Only so a theory could find acceptance, although it only describes
mathematically the expanding eddy current and ignores its anti-vortex. I
call the contracting anti-vortex “potential vortex” and point to the cir-
cumstance, that every eddy current entails the anti-vortex as a physical
necessity.

By this reconciliation it is ensured that the condition in the vortex centre

corresponds in the infinite one, complete in analogy to fluid mechanics.

The Maxwell approximation

The approximation, which is hidden in the Maxwell equations, thus con-

sists of neglecting the anti-vortex dual to the eddy current. It is possible
that this approximation is allowed, as long as it only concerns processes
inside conducting materials. The transition to insulants however, which
requires for the laws of the field refraction steadiness, is incompatible
with the acceptance of eddy currents in the cable and a nonvortical field
in air. In such a case the Maxwell approximation will lead to considerable
errors.

If we take as an example the lightning and ask how the lightning channel
is formed: Which mechanism is behind it, if the electrically insulating air
for a short time is becoming a conductor? From the viewpoint of vortex
physics the answer is obvious: The potential vortex, which in the air is
dominating, contracts very strong and doing so squeezes all air charge
carriers and air ions, which are responsible for the conductivity, together
at a very small space to form a current channel.

The contracting potential vortex thus exerts a pressure and with that
forms the vortex tube. Besides the cylindrical structure another structure
can be expected. It is the sphere, which is the only form, which can with-
stand a powerful pressure if that acts equally from all directions of space.
Only think of ball lightning.
Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 251

We imagine now a spherical vortex, in whose inside an expanding vortex

is enclosed and which is held together from the outside by the contract-
ing potential vortex and is forced into it’s spherical shape. From the infi-
nite measured this spherical vortex would have an electrical charge and
all the characteristics of a charge carrier.

Inside: expanding eddy current (skin effect)

Outside: contracting anti-vortex (potential vortex)

Condition: for coming off: equally powerful vortices

Criterion: electric conductivity (determines diameter)

Result: spherical structure (consequence of the pressure of the vacuum)

Figure 2. The electron as an electromagnetic sphere-vortex

The mistake of the magnetic monopole

With the tendency of the potential vortex for contraction, inevitably the
ability is linked to a structural formation. The particularly obvious struc-
ture of a ball would be besides an useful model for quanta.

A to the sphere formed field-vortex would be described mathematically in

its inside with the expanding vortex div D. For the potential vortex work-
ing against from the outside div B would apply.

The divergence may be set therefore neither with the electrical field (4th
Maxwell equation) nor with the magnetic field (3rd Maxwell equation) to
zero!

If however both equations are necessary for the derivation of an electron,

then it is a mistake in reasoning wanting to assign one alone to an elec-
trical and the other one to a magnetic monopole.

Since the radius, at which it comes to vortex detaching and with it the
size of the sphere vortex depends on it’s conductivity, electrical
monopoles and among them rank numerous elementary particles, will be
extremely small. Magnetic monopoles however would have to take enor-
mous, no longer for us measurable dimensions.

The discovery of the law of induction

In the choice of the approach the physicist is

free, as long as the approach is reasonable
and well founded. In the case of Maxwell’s
field equations two experimentally deter-
mined regularities served as basis: on the one
hand Ampçre’s law and on the other hand the
law of induction of Faraday. The mathemati-
cian Maxwell thereby gave the finishing
touches for the formulations of both laws. He
introduced the displacement current D and
completed Ampçre’s law accordingly, and that
without a chance of already at his time being
able to measure and prove the measure. Only
after his death
this was possible experimentally, what after-
wards makes clear the format of this man.

In the formulation of the law of induction

Maxwell was completely free, because the
discoverer Michael Faraday had done
without specifications. As a man of practice
and of experiment the mathematical nota-
tion was less important for Faraday. For him
the attempts with which he could show his
discovery of the induction to everybody, e.g.
his unipolar generator, stood in the fore-
ground.

His 40 years younger friend and professor of mathematics Maxwell how-

ever had something completely different in mind. He wanted to describe
the light as an electromagnetic wave and doing so certainly the wave de-
scription of Laplace went through his mind, which needs a second time
derivation of the field factor.

Because Maxwell for this purpose needed two equations with each time a
first derivation, he had to introduce the displacement current in
Ampçre’s law and had to choose an appropriate notation for the formula-
tion of the law of induction to get to the wave equation.

His light theory initially was very controversial. Maxwell faster found ac-
knowledgement for bringing together the teachings of electricity and
Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 253

magnetism and the representation as something unified and belonging

together [10] than for mathematically giving reasons for the principle dis-
covered by Faraday.

Nevertheless the question should be asked, if Maxwell has found the suit-
able formulation, if he has understood 100 percent correct his friend Far-
aday and his discovery. If discovery (from 29.08.1831) and mathematical
formulation (1862) stem from two different scientists, who in addition be-
long to different disciplines, misunderstandings are nothing unusual. It
will be helpful to work out the differences.

The unipolar generator

If one turns an axially polarized magnet or a copper disc situated in a

magnetic field, then perpendicular to the direction of motion and perpen-
dicular to the magnetic field pointer a pointer of the electric field will oc-
cur, which everywhere points axially to the outside. In the case of this by
Faraday developed unipolar generator hence by means of a brush be-
tween the rotation axis and the circumference a tension voltage can be
called off.

The mathematically correct relation

E=vxB (2.1)

I call Faraday-law, even if it only appears in this form in the textbooks

later in time [11]. The formulation usually is attributed to the mathema-
tician Hendrik Lorentz, since it appears in the Lorentz force in exactly
this form. Much more important than the mathematical formalism how-
ever are the experimental results and the discovery by Michael Faraday,
for which reason the law concerning unipolar induction is named after
the discoverer. Of course we must realize that the charge carriers at the
time of the discovery hadn’t been discovered yet and the field concept
couldn’t correspond to that of today.

The field concept was an abstracter one, free of any quantisation.

That of course also is valid for the field concept advocated by Maxwell,
which we now contrast with the “Faraday-law” (fig. 5). The second
Maxwell equation, the law of induction (2.2), also is a mathematical de-
scription between the electric field strength E and the magnetic induc-
tion B. But this time the two aren’t linked by a relative velocity v.
254 Meyl, K.: Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

Figure 5. Two formulations for one law: As a mathematical relation between the
vectors of the electric field strength E and the induction B (= magnetic flux density)

In that place stands the time derivation of B, with which a change in flux
is necessary for an electric field strength to occur. As a consequence the
Maxwell equation doesn’t provide a result in the static or quasi-station-
ary case, for which reason it in such cases is usual, to fall back upon the
unipolar induction according to Faraday (e.g. in the case of the
Hall-probe, the picture tube, etc.). The falling back should only remain
restricted to such cases, so the normally used idea. But with which right
the restriction of the Faraday-law to stationary processes is made?

The vectors E and B can be subject to both spatial and temporal fluctua-
tions. In that way the two formulations suddenly are in competition with
each other and we are asked, to explain the difference, as far as such a
difference should be present.

Different induction laws

Such a difference for instance is that it is common practice to neglect the

coupling between the fields at low frequencies. While at high frequencies
in the range of the electromagnetic field the E- and the H-field are mutu-
ally dependent, at lower frequency and small field change the process of
induction drops correspondingly according to Maxwell, so that a neglect
seems to be allowed. Now electric or magnetic field can be measured in-
dependently of each other. Usually is proceeded as if the other field is not
present at all.

That is not correct. A look at the Faraday-law immediately shows that

even down to frequency zero always both fields are present. The field
Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 255

pointers however stand perpendicular to each other, so that the magnetic

field pointer wraps around the pointer of the electric field in the form of a
vortex ring in the case that the electric field strength is being measured
and vice versa. The closed-loop field lines are acting neutral to the out-
side; they hence need no attention, so the normally used idea. It should
be examined more closely if this is sufficient as an explanation for the ne-
glect of the not measurable closed-loop field lines, or if not after all an ef-
fect arises from fields, which are present in reality.

Another difference concerns the commutability of E- and H-field, as is

shown by the Faraday-generator, how a magnetic becomes an electric
field and vice versa as a result of a relative velocity v. This directly influ-
ences the physical-philosophic question: What is meant by the electro-
magnetic field?

The electromagnetic field

The textbook opinion based on the Maxwell equations names the static
field of the charge carriers as cause for the electric field, whereas moving
ones cause the magnetic field [7, i.e.]. But that hardly can have been the
idea of Faraday, to whom the existence of charge carriers was completely
unknown. For his contemporaries, completely revolutionary abstract field
concept, based on the works of the Croatian Jesuit priest Boscovich
(1711-1778). In the case of the field it should less concern a physical
quantity in the usual sense, than rather the “experimental experience” of
an interaction according to his field description. We should interpret the
Faraday-law to the effect that we experience an electric field, if we are
moving with regard to a magnetic field with a relative velocity and vice
versa.

In the commutability of electric and magnetic field a duality between the

two is expressed, which in the Maxwell formulation is lost, as soon as
charge carriers are brought into play. Is thus the Maxwell field the special
case of a particle free field? Much evidence points to it, because after all a
light ray can run through a particle free vacuum. If however fields can
exist without particles, particles without fields however are impossible,
then the field should have been there first as the cause for the particles.
Then the Faraday description should form the basis, from which all other
regularities can be derived.

What do the textbooks say to that?

256 Meyl, K.: Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

Contradictory opinions in textbooks

Obviously there exist two formulations for the law of induction (2.1 and 2.2),
which more or less have equal rights. Science stands for the question: which
mathematical description is the more efficient one? If one case is a special
case of the other case, which description then is the more universal one?

What Maxwell’s field equations tell us is sufficiently known, so that deriva-

tions are unnecessary. Numerous textbooks are standing by, if results should
be cited. Let us hence turn to the Faraday-law (2.1). Often one searches in
vain for this law in schoolbooks. Only in more pretentious books one makes
a find under the keyword “unipolar induction”. If one however compares
the number of pages, which are spent on the law of induction according to
Maxwell with the few pages for the unipolar induction, then one gets the
impression that the latter only is a unimportant special case for low fre-
quencies. Küpfmüller speaks of a “special form of the law of induction”
[12], and cites as practical examples the induction in a brake disc and the
Hall-effect. Afterwards Küpfmüller derives from the “special form” the
“general form” of the law of induction according to Maxwell, a postulated
generalization, which needs an explanation. But a reason is not given [12].

Bosse gives the same derivation, but for him the Maxwell-result is the
special case and not his Faraday approach [13]! In addition he addresses
the Faraday-law as equation of transformation and points out the mean-
ing and the special interpretation.

On the other hand he derives the law from the Lorentz force, completely in
the style of Küpfmüller [12] and with that again takes it part of its autonomy.

Pohl looks at that different. He inversely derives the Lorentz force from
the Faraday-law [14]. We should follow this very much convincing repre-
sentation.

The equation of convection

If the by Bosse [13] prompted term “equation of transformation” is justi-

fied or not at first is unimportant. That is a matter of discussion.

If there should be talk about equations of transformation, then the dual

formulation (to equation 2.1) belongs to it, then it concerns a pair of
equations, which describes the relations between the electric and the
magnetic field.
Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 257

Written down according to the rules of duality there results an equation

(2.3), which occasionally is mentioned in some textbooks.

While both equations in the books of Pohl [14, p.76 and 130] and of
Simonyi [15] are written down side by side having equal rights and are
compared with each other, Grimsehl [16] derives the dual regularity
(2.3) with the help of the example of a thin, positively charged and rotat-
ing metal ring. He speaks of “equation of convection”, according to which
moving charges produce a magnetic field and so-called convection cur-
rents. Doing so he refers to workings of Röntgen 1885, Himstedt,
Rowland 1876, Eichenwald and many others more, which today hardly
are known.

In his textbook also Pohl gives practical examples for both equations of
transformation. He points out that one equation changes into the other
one, if as a relative velocity v the speed of light c should occur.

3. Derivation from text book physics

We now have found a field-theoretical approach with the equations of

transformation, which in its dual formulation is clearly distinguished
from the Maxwell approach. The reassuring conclusion is added: The
new field approach roots entirely in textbook physics, as are the re-
sults from the literature research. We can completely do without postu-
lates.

Next thing to do is to test the approach strictly mathematical for freedom

of contradictions. It in particular concerns the question, which known
regularities can be derived under which conditions. Moreover the condi-
258 Meyl, K.: Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

tions and the scopes of the derived theories should result correctly, e.g. of
what the Maxwell approximation consists and why the Maxwell equa-
tions describe only a special case.

Derivation of the field equations acc. to Maxwell

As a starting-point and as approach serve the equations of transforma-

tion of the electromagnetic field, the Faraday-law of unipolar induction
(2.1) and the according to the rules of duality formulated law called equa-
tion of convection (2.3).

E=vxB (2.1)

and

H=–vxD (2.3)

If we apply the curl to both sides of the equations:

curl E = curl (v x B) (3.1)

and

curl H = – curl (v x D) (3.2)

then according to known algorithms of vector analysis the curl of the

cross product each time delivers the sum of four single terms [17]:

curl E = (B grad)v – (v grad)B + v div B – B div v (3.3)

curl H = – [(D grad)v – (v grad)D + v div D – D div v] (3.4)

Two of these again are zero for a non-accelerated relative motion in the
x-direction with:

v = dr/dt (3.5)

grad v = 0 (3.5*)

and

div v = 0 (3.5**)
Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 259

One term concerns ’the vector gradient (v grad)B, which can be repre-
sented as a tensor. By writing down and solving the accompanying deriv-
ative matrix giving consideration to the above determination of the v-vec-
tor, the vector gradient becomes the simple time derivation of the field
vector B(r(t)),
dB dD
(v grad)B = and (v grad)D = , (3.6)
dt dt

according to the rule [17]:

dV(r (t )) ¶V(r = r (t )) dr (t )
= × = (v grad)V. (3.7)
dt ¶r dt

For the last not yet explained terms at first are written down the vectors
b and j as abbreviation.

curl E = – dB/dt + v div B = – dB/dt – b (3.8)

curl H = dD/dt – v div D = dD/dt + j (3.9)

With equation 3.9 we in this way immediately look at the well-known law
of Ampçre (1st Maxwell equation).

The Maxwell equations as a special case

The result will be the Maxwell equations, if:

• the potential density b = – v div B = 0 , (3.10)

(eq. 3.8 º law of induction 1.1, if b = 0 resp. div B = 0)!

• the current density j = – v div D = – v · rel , (3.11)

(eq. 3.9 º Ampçre’s law 1.4, if j º with v moving negative
charge carriers, (rel = electric space charge density).

The comparison of coefficients (3.11) in addition delivers a useful expla-

nation to the question, what is meant by the current density j: it is a
space charge density rel consisting of negative charge carriers, which
260 Meyl, K.: Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

moves with the velocity v for instance through a conductor (in the x-di-
rection).

The current density j and the dual potential density b mathematically

seen at first are nothing but alternative vectors for an abbreviated nota-
tion. While for the current density j the physical meaning already could
be clarified from the comparison with the law of Ampçre, the interpreta-
tion of the potential density b still is due:

b = – v div B (= 0) , (3.10)

From the comparison of eq. 3.8 with the law of induction (eq.1.1) we
merely infer, that according to the Maxwell theory this term is assumed
to be zero. But that is exactly the Maxwell approximation and the restric-
tion with regard to the new and dual field approach, which roots in Fara-
day.

The Maxwell approximation

In that way also the duality gets lost with the argument that magnetic
monopoles (div B) in contrast to electric monopoles (div D) do not exist
and until today could evade every proof. It has not yet been searched for
the vortices dual to eddy currents, which are expressed in the neglected
term.

Assuming, a monopole concerns a special form of a field vortex, then im-

mediately gets clear, why the search for magnetic poles has to be a dead
end and their failure isn’t good for a counterargument: The missing elec-
tric conductivity in vacuum prevents current densities, eddy currents and
the formation of magnetic monopoles. Potential densities and potential
vortices however can occur. As a result can without exception only electri-
cally charged particles be found in the vacuum.

Let us record: Maxwell’s field equations can directly be derived

from the new dual field approach under a restrictive condition.
Under this condition the two approaches are equivalent and with that
also error free. Both follow the textbooks and can so to speak be the text-
book opinion.

The restriction (b = 0) surely is meaningful and reasonable in all those

cases in which the Maxwell theory is successful. It only has an effect in
the domain of electrodynamics. Here usually a vector potential A is intro-
Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 261

duced and by means of the calculation of a complex dielectric constant a

loss angle is determined. Mathematically the approach is correct and di-
electric losses can be calculated.

Physically however the result is extremely questionable, since as a conse-

quence of a complex e a complex speed of light would result,

according to the definition: c = 1/ e × m (3.12).

With that electrodynamics offends against all specifications of the text-

books, according to which c is constant and not variable and less then
ever complex.

But if the result of the derivation physically is wrong, then something

with the approach is wrong, then the fields in the dielectric perhaps have
an entirely other nature, then dielectric losses perhaps are vortex losses
of potential vortices falling apart?

The magnetic field as a vortex field

Is the introduction of a vector potential A in electrodynamics a substitute

of neglecting the potential density b? Do here two ways mathematically
lead to the same result? And what about the physical relevance? After
classic electrodynamics being dependent on working with a complex con-
stant of material, in what is buried an insurmountable inner contradic-
tion, the question is asked for the freedom of contradictions of the new
approach. At this point the decision will be made, if physics has to make a
decision for the more efficient approach, as it always has done when a
change of paradigm had to be dealt with.

The abbreviations j and b are further transformed, at first the current

density in Ampçre’s law

j = – v · rel (3.11)

as the movement of negative electric charges.

By means of Ohm’s law

σ·E
j = ((E (1.5)
262 Meyl, K.: Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

and the relation of material

ε·E
D = ((E (1.6)

the current density

j =D τ1
D/(1 (3.13)

also can be written down as dielectric displacement current with the

characteristic relaxation time constant for the eddy currents

τ(1
1 ==ε/σ
(/( (1.7).

In this representation of the law of Ampçre:

D +D
curl H = dD/dt τ1 = e · (dE/dt + E/t1)
D/(1 (3.14)

clearly is brought to light, why the magnetic field is a vortex field, and
how the eddy currents produce heat losses depending on the specific elec-
tric conductivity s. As one sees we, with regard to the magnetic field de-
scription, move around completely in the framework of textbook physics.

The derivation of the potential vortex

Let us now consider the dual conditions. The comparison of coefficients

looked at purely formal, results in a potential density

b = B/t2 (3.15)

in duality to the current density j (eq. 3.13), which with the help of an ap-
propriate time constant t2 founds vortices of the electric field. I call these
potential vortices.

curl E = – dB/dt – B/t2 = – m · (dH/dt + H/t2) (3.16)

In contrast to that the Maxwell theory requires an irrotationality of

the electric field, which is expressed by taking the potential density b
and the divergence B equal to zero. The time constant t2 thereby tends
towards infinity.
Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 263

There isn’t a way past the potential vortices and the new dual approach,

1. as the new approach gets along without a postulate, as well as

2. consists of accepted physical laws,
3. why also all error free derivations are to be accepted,
4. no scientist can afford to already exclude a possibly relevant phenome-
non in at the approach,
5. the Maxwell approximation for it’s negligibleness is to examine,
6. to which a potential density measuring instrument is necessary, which
may not exist according to the Maxwell theory.

With such a tail-chase always incomplete theories could confirm them-

selves.

4. Derivation of the wave equation

It has already been shown, as and under which conditions the wave equa-
tion from the Maxwell' field equations, limited to transverse wave-por-
tions, is derived (chapter 1.4). Usually one proceeds from the general case
of an electrical field strength E = E(r,t) and a magnetic field strength
H = H(r,t). We want to follow this example [18], this time however with-
out neglecting and under consideration of the potential vortex term.

The completed field equations

The two equations of transformation and also the from that derived field
equations (3.14 and 3.16) show the two sides of a medal, by mutually de-
scribing the relation between the electric and magnetic field strength:

curl H = ¶D/¶ t + D/t1 = e · (¶E/¶ t + E/t1) (4.1)

curl E = – ¶ B/¶ t – B/t2 = – m · (¶ H/¶ t + H/t2) (4.2)

We get on the track of the meaning of the “medal” itself, by inserting the
dually formulated equations into each other. If the calculated H-field
from one equation is inserted into the other equation then as a result a
determining equation for the E-field remains. The same vice versa also
functions to determine the H-field. Since the result formally is identical
and merely the H-field vector appears at the place of the E-field vector
264 Meyl, K.: Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

and since it equally remains valid for the B-, the D-field and all other
known field factors, the determining equation is more than only a calcu-
lation instruction. It reveals a fundamental physical principle. I call it the
complete or the “fundamental field equation”. The derivation always is
the same: If we again apply the curl operation to curl E (law of induction
4.2) also the other side of the equation should be subjected to the curl:

– curl curl E = m · ¶(curl H)/¶t + (m/t2) · (curl H) (4.3)

If for both terms curl H is expressed by Ampçre’s law 4.1, then in total
four terms are formed:

– curl curl E = m · e · [¶2E/¶t2 + (1/t1) · ¶E/¶t + (1/t2) · ¶E/¶t + E/t1t2] (4.4)

With the definition for the speed of light c:

e · m = 1/c2, (1.10)

the fundamental field equation reads:

– c2 · curl curl E = ¶ 2 E/¶ t2 + (1/t1) · ¶ E/¶ t + (1/t2) · ¶ E/¶ t + E/t1t2

a b c d e (4.5)

(electromagnetic wave) + eddy current + potential vortex + I/U

The four terms are: the wave equation (a-b) with the two damping terms,
on the one hand the eddy currents (a-c) and on the other hand the poten-
tial vortices (a-d) and as the fourth term the Poisson equation (a-e),
which is responsible for the spatial distribution of currents and potentials
[21].

A possible world equation

Not in a single textbook a mathematical linking of the Poisson equation

with the wave equation can be found, as we here succeed in for the first
time. It however is the prerequisite to be able to describe the conversion
of an antenna current into electromagnetic waves near a transmitter and
equally the inverse process, as it takes place at a receiver. Numerous
model concepts, like they have been developed by HF- and EMC-techni-
cians as a help, can be described mathematically correct by the physically
founded field equation.
Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 265

In addition further equations can be derived, for which this until now
was supposed to be impossible, like for instance the Schrödinger equa-
tion (Term d and e). As diffusion equation it has the task to mathemati-
cally describe field vortices and their structures.

As a consequence of the Maxwell equations in general and specifically the

eddy currents (a-c) not being able to form structures, every attempt has
to fail, which wants to derive the Schrödinger equation from the Maxwell
equations.

The fundamental field equation however contains the newly discovered

potential vortices, which owing to their concentration effect (in duality to
the skin effect) form spherical structures, for which reason these occur as
eigenvalues of the equation. For these eigenvalue-solutions numerous
practical measurements are present, which confirm their correctness and
with that have probative force with regard to the correctness of the new
field approach and the fundamental field equation [21]. By means of the
pure formulation in space and time and the interchangeability of the field
pointers here a physical principle is described, which fulfills all require-
ments, which a world equation must meet.

The quantisation of the field

The Maxwell equations are nothing but a special case, which can be de-
rived. (if 1/t2 = 0). The new approach however, which among others bases
on the Faraday-law, is universal and can’t be derived on its part. It de-
scribes a physical basic principle, the alternating of two dual experience
or observation factors, their overlapping and mixing by continually mix-
ing up cause and effect. It is a philosophic approach, free of materialistic
or quantum physical concepts of any particles.

Maxwell on the other hand describes without exception the fields of

charged particles, the electric field of resting and the magnetic field as a
result of moving charges. The charge carriers are postulated for this pur-
pose, so that their origin and their inner structure remain unsettled.

With the field-theoretical approach however the field is the cause for the
particles and their measurable quantisation. The electric vortex field, at
first source free, is itself forming its field sources in form of potential vor-
tex structures. The formation of charge carriers in this way can be ex-
plained and proven mathematically, physically, graphically and experi-
mentally understandable according to the model.

Let us first cast our eyes over the wave propagation.

266 Meyl, K.: Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

The mathematical derivation (Laplace eq.)

The first wave description, model for the light theory of Maxwell, was the
inhomogeneous Laplace equation (1.12):

DE · c2 = d2E/dt2

with

DE = grad div E – curl curl E (4.6)

There are asked some questions:

• Canalso this mathematical wave description be derived from the new
approach?
• Is it only a special case and how do the boundary conditions read?
• In this case how should it be interpreted physically?
• Are new properties present, which can lead to new technologies?
Starting-point is the fundamental field equation (4.5). We thereby should
remember the interchangeability of the field pointers, that the equation
doesn’t change its form, if it is derived for H, for B, for D or any other
field factor instead of for the E-field pointer. This time we write it down
for the magnetic induction and consider the special case B(r(t)) [acc. to
19]:

d 2 B 1 dB 1 dB B
– c · curl curl B =
2
+ + + (4.7)
dt 2
t 2 dt t 1 dt t1 t 2

that we are located in a badly conducting medium, as is usual for the

wave propagation in air. But with the electric conductivity s also 1/t1 =
s/e tends towards zero (eq. 1.7). With that the eddy currents and their
damping and other properties disappear from the field equation, what
also makes sense.

There remains the potential vortex term (1/t2) · dB/dt , which using the
already introduced relations

1 dB B
= v grad (3.6)
t 2 dt t2
Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 267

and
B
= – v div B (3.10+3.15)
t2

involved with an in x-direction propagating wave (v = (vx, vy = 0, vz = 0))

can be transformed directly into:

(1/t2) · dB/dt = – ||v||2 · grad div B. (4.8)

The divergence of a field vector (div B) mathematically seen is a scalar,

for which reason this term as part of the wave equation founds so-called
“scalar waves” and that means that potential vortices, as far as they
exist, will appear as a scalar wave. To that extent the derivation pre-
scribes the interpretation.

v 2
grad div B – c2 curl curl B = d2B/dt2 (4.9)

longitudinal transverse wave

with v = arbitrary with c = const. velocity of
(scalar wave) (em. wave) propagation

The simplified field equation (4.7) possesses thus the same force of ex-
pression as the general wave equation (4.9), on adjustment of the coordi-
nate system at the speed vector (in x-direction).

The wave equation (4.9) can be divided into longitudinal and transverse
wave parts, which however can propagate with different velocity.

The result of the derivation

Physically seen the vortices have particle nature as a consequence of

their structure forming property. With that they carry momentum, which
puts them in a position to form a longitudinal shock wave similar to a
sound wave. If the propagation of the light one time takes place as a wave
and another time as a particle, then this simply and solely is a conse-
quence of the wave equation.

Light quanta should be interpreted as evidence for the existence of scalar

waves. Here however also occurs the restriction that light always propa-
268 Meyl, K.: Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

gates with the speed of light. It concerns the special case v = c. With that
the derived wave equation (4.9) changes into the inhomogeneous Laplace
equation (4.6).

The electromagnetic wave in general is propagating with c. As a transverse

wave the field vectors are standing perpendicular to the direction of propa-
gation. The velocity of propagation therefore is decoupled and constant.

Completely different is the case for the longitudinal wave. Here the prop-
agation takes place in the direction of an oscillating field pointer, so that
the phase velocity permanently is changing and merely an average group
velocity can be given for the propagation. There exists no restriction for v
and v = c only describes a special case.

It will be helpful to draw, for the results won on mathematical way, a

graphical model.

5. Field model of waves and vortices

In high-frequency technology is distinguished between the near-field and

the far-field. Both have fundamentally other properties.

The far field (electromagnetic wave acc. to Hertz)

Heinrich Hertz did experiment in the short wave range at wavelengths

of some meters. From today’s viewpoint his work would rather be as-
signed the far-field. As a professor in Karlsruhe he had shown that his,
the electromagnetic, wave propagates like a light wave and can be re-
fracted and reflected in the same way.

Heinrich Hertz: electromagnetic wave (transverse)

Figure 6. The planar electromagnetic wave in the far zone.

Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 269

It is a transverse wave for which the field pointers of the electric and the
magnetic field oscillate perpendicular to each other and both again per-
pendicular to the direction of propagation. Besides the propagation with
the speed of light also is characteristic that there occurs no phase shift
between E-field and H-field.

The near field (Scalar wave acc. to Tesla)

In the proximity it looks completely different. The proximity concerns

distances to the transmitter of less than the wavelength divided by 2p.
Nikola Tesla has broadcasted in the range of long waves, around 100
Kilohertz, in which case the wavelength already is several kilometres. For
the experiments concerning the resonance of the earth he has operated
his transmitter in Colorado Springs at frequencies down to 6 Hertz. Do-
ing so the whole earth moves into the proximity of his transmitter. We
probably have to proceed from assumption that the Tesla radiation pri-
marily concerns the proximity, which also is called the radiant range of
the transmitting antenna.

For the approach of vortical and closed-loop field structures derivations

for the near-field are known [4].

The calculation provides the result that in the proximity of the emitting
antenna a phase shift exists between the pointers of the E- and the
H-field. The antenna current and the H-field coupled with it lag the
E-field of the oscillating dipole charges for 90°.

Figure 7. The fields of the oscillating dipole antenna

270 Meyl, K.: Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

The near field as a vortex field

In the text books one finds the detachment of a wave from the dipole ac-
cordingly explained.

Figure 8. The coming off of the electric field lines from a dipole. The forming
vortex structures found a longitudinal electric wave carrying impulse!

If we regard the structure of the outgoing fields, then we see field vorti-
ces, which run around one point, which we can call vortex centre. We con-
tinue to recognize in the picture, how the generated field structures es-
tablish a shock wave, as one vortex knocks against the next [see Tesla: 1].

Thus a Hertzian dipole doesn’t emit Hertzian waves! An antenna as

near-field without exception emits vortices, which only at the transition
to the far-field unwind to electromagnetic waves.

At the receiver the conditions are reversed. Here the wave (a-b in eq. 4.5)
is rolling up to a vortex (a-c-d), which usually is called and conceived as a
“standing wave”. Only this field vortex causes an antenna current (a-e)
in the rod, which the receiver afterwards amplifies and utilizes.

The function mode of sending and receiving antennas with the puzzling
near field characteristics explain themselves directly from the wave equa-
tion (4.5).

The vortex model of the scalar waves

How could a useful vortex-model for the rolling up of waves to vortices

look like?

We proceed from an electromagnetic wave, which does not propagate af-

ter the retractor procedure any longer straight-lined, but turns instead
with the speed of light in circular motion. It also furthermore is trans-
Annual Report on the Activities of the Croatian Academy of Engineering (HATZ) in 2006 271

verse, because the field pointers of the E-field and the H-field oscillate
perpendicular to c. By means of the orbit the speed of light c now has be-
come the vortex velocity.

Nikola Tesla: electric scalar wave (longitudinal):

Figure 9. Magnetic ring-vortices form an electric wave.

Wave and vortex turn out to be two possible and stable field configu-
rations. For the transition from one into the other no energy is used; it
only is a question of structure.

By the circumstance that the vortex direction of the ring-like vortex is

determined and the field pointers further are standing perpendicular to
it, as well as perpendicular to each other, there result two theoretical for-
mation forms for the scalar wave. In the first case (fig. 9) the vector of
the H-field points into the direction of the vortex centre and that of the
E-field axially to the outside. The vortex however will propagate in this
direction in space and appear as a scalar wave, so that the propagation of
the wave takes place in the direction of the electric field. It may be called
an electric wave.

In the second case the field vectors exchange their place. The characteris-
tic of the magnetic wave is that the direction of propagation coincides
with the oscillating magnetic field pointer (fig.10), while the electric field
pointer rolls up.

magnetic scalar wave (longitudinal):

Figure 10. Electric ring-vortices form an magnetic wave.

272 Meyl, K.: Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

The vortex picture of the rolled up wave already fits very well, because
the propagation of a wave in the direction of its field pointer cha-
racterizes a longitudinal wave, because all measurement results are
perfectly covered by the vortex model. In the text book of Zinke the
near field is by the way computed, as exactly this structure is postulated!
[20].

The antenna noise

Longitudinal waves have, as well known, no firm propagation speed.

Since they run toward an oscillating field pointer, also the speed vector v
will oscillate. At so called relativistic speeds within the range of the speed
of light the field vortices underlie the Lorentz contraction. This
means, the faster the oscillating vortex is on it’s way, the smaller it be-
comes. The vortex constantly changes its diameter as a impulse-car-
rying mediator of a scalar wave.

Since it is to concern that vortices are rolled up waves, the vortex speed
will still be c, with which the wave runs now around the vortex center in
circular motion. Hence it follows that with smaller becoming diameter
the wavelength of the vortex likewise decreases, while the natural fre-
quency of the vortex increases accordingly.

If the vortex oscillates in the next instant back, the frequency decreases
again. The vortex works as a frequency converter! The mixture of high
frequency signals developed in this way distributed over a broad fre-
quency band, is called noise.

Antenna losses concern the portion of radiated field vortices, which did
not unroll themselves as waves, which are measured with the help of
wide-band receivers as antenna noise and in the case of the vortex decay
are responsible for heat development.

Spoken with the fundamental field equation (4.5) it concerns wave

damping. The wave equation (4.9) explains besides, why a Hertz
signal is to be only received, if it exceeds the scalar noise vortices in am-
plitude.

6. Summary

The proof could be furnished that within the Maxwell field equations an ap-
proximation lies buried and they only represent the special case of a new,
dual formulated more universal approach. The mathematical derivations of
the Maxwell field and the wave equation uncover, wherein the Maxwell ap-
proximation lies. The contracting antivortex dual to the expanding vortex
current with its skin effect is neglected, which is called potential vortex. It is
capable of a structural formation and spreads in badly conductive media as
in air or in the vacuum as a scalar wave in longitudinal way.

At relativistic speeds the potential vortices underlie the Lorentz contraction.

Since for scalar waves the propagation occurs longitudinally in the direction
of an oscillating field pointer, the potential vortices experience a constant os-
cillation of size as a result of the oscillating propagation. If one understands
the field vortex as an even however rolled up transverse wave, then thus
size and wave-length oscillation at constant swirl velocity with c follows a
continual change in frequency, which is measured as a noise signal.

The noise proves as the potential vortex term neglected in the Maxwell
equations. If e.g. with antennas a noise signal is measured, then this
proves the existence of potential vortices. However if the range of validity
of the Maxwell theory is left, misinterpretations and an excluding of appro-
priate phenomena from the field theory are the consequence, the noise or
the near field cannot be computed any longer or conclusively explained.

View on the technical solution

If the antenna efficiency is very badly, for example with false adapted an-
tennas, then the utilizable level sinks, while the antenna noise increases
at the same time.

The wave equation following the explanation could also read differently:
From the radiated waves the transversals decrease debited to the longitu-
dinal wave components. The latter’s are used however in the transponder
technology as sources of energy, why unorthodox antenna structures
make frequently better results possible, than usual or proven.

Ball antennas proved in this connection as particularly favourable con-

structions. The more largely the ball is selected, the more can the recep-
tion range for energy beyond that of the near field be expanded. This ef-
fect can be validated in the experiment.
274 Meyl, K.: Scalar Wave Effects according to Tesla

So far high frequency technicians were concerned only with the maximi-
zation of the transversal utilizable wave, so that this does not go down
regarding the noise. The construction of far range transponders however
require false adapted antennas, the exact opposite of what is learned and
taught so far in the HF technology, inverse engineers and engineering so
to speak. And in such a way the introduction and development of a new
technology requires first an extended view and new ways of training.

Appendix

More than 100 Years ago Nikola Tesla has demonstrated three versions
of transportation electrical energy:

1. the 3-phase-Network, as it is used today,

2. the one-wire-system with no losses and
3. the magnifying Transmitter for wireless supply.

The main subject of the conference presentation will be the wireless sys-
tem and the practical use of it as a far range transponder (RFID for large
distances). Let me explain some expressions as used in the paper.

A “scalar wave” spreads like every wave directed, but it consists of

physical particles or formations, which represent for their part scalar
sizes. Therefore the name, which is avoided by some critics or is even dis-
paraged, because of the apparent contradiction in the designation, which
makes believe the wave is not directional, which does not apply however.

The term “scalar wave” originates from mathematics and is as old as

the wave equation itself, which again goes back on the mathematician
Laplace. It can be used favourably as generic term for a large group of
wave features, e.g. for acoustic waves, gravitational waves or plasma
waves.

Seen from the physical characteristics they are longitudinal waves. Con-
trary to the transverse waves, for example the electromagnetic waves,
scalar waves carry and transport energy and impulse. Thus one of the
tasks of scalar wave transponders is fulfilled.

The term “transponder” consists of the terms transmitter and re-

sponder, describes thus radio devices which receive incoming signals, in
order to redirect or answer to them. First there were only active tran-
sponders, which are dependent on a power supply from outside. For some
time passive systems were developed in addition, whose receiver gets the
necessary energy at the same time conveyed by the transmitter
wirelessly.
