Fundamental Properties of Electromagnetic Energy - Definitively Solved and Simply Explained (Paperback): Mark Fennell Fundamental Properties of Electromagnetic Energy - Definitively Solved and Simply Explained (Paperback)
Mark Fennell
R668 Discovery Miles 6 680 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book is the first in a series on major discoveries in the arena of electromagnetic energy. For the past three years I have made numerous discoveries in the fundamental properties and processes of electromagnetic energy and electrons. These discoveries will advance our understanding of the universe in major ways. This book is designed for readers of any background. I explain all concepts very clearly, supplemented with numerous illustrations. Some of the most important discoveries and properties discussed in this first book include the following: Particle-Wave Duality: full explanation and illustrations of the solution, presented here for the first time. For over a century, the most brilliant minds have been puzzling over how electromagnetic energy can be both a particle and a wave. For the first time, the cause of this duality has been solved and fully illustrated. The true nature of the electric and magnetic fields, fully illustrated.What exactly is the electric field? What exactly is the magnetic field? This has been a mystery for many years. I have discovered the true nature of these fields. The "Hidden Variables" of electromagnetic energy are finally discovered, explained, and illustrated. Understanding these "hidden variables" will simplify all theorems related to Electromagnetic Energy, Quantum Science, the Atom, and much more. The composition of the photon, fully discussed and illustrated. The pulsation of electromagnetic energy: This is a key process in the nature of electromagnetic energy, and is demonstrated for the first time here. The creation of the wave pattern: I explain and illustrate exactly how a wave, of any type, is created. Reassessment of the relationships between energy, frequency, and wavelength. The relations have long been known, but from a certain perspective. Once you understand particle-wave duality, it is time to reassess the relationships. Detailed understanding of energy and power in electromagnetic energy. Accurate understanding of "quanta" of light, with detailed illustrations. Descriptions and illustrations of all motions of electromagnetic energy. One of the best features of this book (as well as every book in the series) is the numerous illustrations. Every concept is not merely explained in words, but also illustrated with detailed diagrams. On average, a chapter has approximately 25 full color illustrations. Most of these illustrations are highly detailed, with numerous elements in each figure. This brings us to another tremendous asset for any reader or student: my strong preference wanting to know the physical reality. In contrast to most physicists, who prefer to communicate their ideas through complicated mathematics, I much prefer to talk of real objects and real processes. In the same way that Bohr developed a series of physical models of the atom, I have developed a series of physical models for electromagnetic energy. Thus, my books have the related assets of 1) focusing on real objects (rather than complex math or abstract ideas), and 2) showing these discoveries through numerous illustrations (rather than a set of equations). I very much hope that these illustrations, along with the explanations, will help any reader and any student to easily understand each process and property I have discovered. Therefore, I am pleased to offer these discoveries for the benefit of the scientific community and the general public. It is my wish that these discoveries, models, and explanations will become commonplace, among both the layman readers and the scientific community, whereby more people can have a richer understanding of our universe.

*Please note that the higher cost of this book is due to the numerous color drawings. Yet these drawings are well worth the price You will understand the physical realities so easily through these illustrations. This book is the second in a series on my discoveries related to electromagnetic energy, energy fields, and subatomic particles. The primary focus of The Creation and Emission of Electromagnetic Energy is exactly as the title suggests: explaining and illustrating exactly how electromagnetic energy is launched from an electron. Yet this book is so much more. In the process of explaining how electromagnetic energy is emitted we cover so many more significant discoveries. Among these discoveries you will find: The solution for particle-wave duality for the electron. A new understanding of electron structure and motion. An advanced understanding of electrical current. New models of molecular bonds. The exact process for photon emission. The reason why one photon is emitted rather than another. My General Principle of Energy Transfer. and, of course: My General Principle for Particle-Wave Duality. Each of these discoveries is significant. Together, they provide a rich understanding of energy, electrons, and more. I have done my very best as a science teacher to make these discoveries as accessible as possible to readers of all backgrounds. Every concept is explained as clearly as possible, with numerous full color illustrations. Key concepts and discoveries are summarized in boxes, as well as a full summary of all points at the end. Table of Contents (note that chapter numbers continue from the previous book). 7. Creating EM Bursts 8. EM Bursts from Power Lines and Antennas 9. Creating EM Bursts: Molecular Vibrations 10. Electrons as Particles and Waves One of the most significant discoveries presented in this book is the solution for the particle-wave duality of the electron. For almost 100 years, the electron was considered to be both a particle and a wave. Yet nobody knew exactly why, until now For the first time anywhere, the true physical nature of the electron, as both particle and wave, is fully understood and illustrated. I demonstrate for you, step by step, exactly how an electron as particle creates the wave-like patterns. I explain and illustrate the true physical nature of the electron as wave in an orbital. This leads to a detailed explanation of the physical nature of the associated wave concepts of Standing Wave and the Electron Cloud. Again, for almost a century nobody has been able to accurately explain and illustrate the physical nature of particle-wave duality for the electron. Therefore, this is a significant discovery and presentation to the scientific community. This leads to the General Principle of Particle-Wave Duality. I have combined several discoveries into a single General Principle, which explains all of particle-wave duality. Another important principle I have developed is the General Principle of Energy Transfer. After spending so many years working with energy, I have come to understand the processes of energy in many arenas. From this, I have developed the General Principle of Energy Transfer. In one simple sentence, I state exactly what energy transfer is, for the majority of process in the universe. Simple, yet profound. The applications of this Principle will be numerous. You will also learn discoveries in the structure and cause of motions of the electron. You will learn discoveries in the nature of electrical current. And of course you will learn exactly how a photon is emitted, and why one size photon will be launched over another. There are numerous significant discoveries presented for the first time in this book. All are fully illustrated (hence the cost - but well worth it). The information presented here will advance our understanding of the universe tremendously.

The major topic areas include: Coal Mining Operations, Mining Safety, Operation of Coal Power Plants, Environmental Effects, and Clean Coal Technologies. Importance of this book: In our society today many aspects of coal power are vigorously debated. However, too often people with an agenda present lies about coal power as absolute truth. Too often the policy-makers make bad decisions based on emotions or on myths rather than on evidence. Too often the citizens are bombarded with conflicting information, leaving them confused. That is why this book is so important. This book provides the unbiased, accurate truths of all aspects related to coal power. I had no agenda when researching and writing this book. I never had any preconceived theories to prove or disprove. Certainly I had questions (the same questions you do) and I wanted to learn the absolute scientific truth regarding each issue. Therefore I spent a significant amount of time to find the answers. I embarked on an expedition, a quest, to learn the science, to understand the technologies, and to separate truth from fiction, for all aspects of coal power. In this book you now have the summation of my journey. In this book you will find the accurate, unbiased answers to all your questions regarding coal power technologies.

R553 R479 Discovery Miles 4 790 Save R74 (13%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In order for America to remain a wonderful place, we must continually teach the keys of America's greatness.

More than just a civics book or a collection of quotes, "The American Way" teaches all aspects of American culture and all the keys to America's greatness. This book explains these concepts in such a way that anyone can understand, regardless of age or background.

Although teaching the American tradition is not necessarily new, writing and teaching on this subject has been weak in the past thirty years. America is not teaching civics anymore, nor does America teach proper history. In addition, many immigrants do not properly understand America. This book exists to fill that void.

If you understand America, then you can use this book to help teach those who don't understand. If you have not been taught properly about America, then this book may open your eyes. If you want other nations to have what we have, then sharing this book with people of other nations will assist them in understanding the keys to our success. Regardless of your particular circumstances, if you want greater personal success and better communities, then you should learn and share "The American Way."
