Does the Ampere need to be redefined?

[madhatter]

I should quickly clarify, the use of m^2 vs m^3 is because amperage is a time dependent function of the volume charge. this gets complex but it's quantum physics at play, the charge volume is bound within an arbitrary space. the current density is a surface plane within that space for a given point in time. So if we move the current to a volume density then the charge needs to move up to a hyper-dimensional plane. Now look what happens, hyperdimensional charge is time invariant and can exhibit 'quantum tunneling' FTL etc...

given that we can not access or measure beyond our 4D universe, much like a 2D plane has no ability to conceptualize a 3D object moving thru it, units and measurements are based on what measure and how accurate we get. the gap between classical and quantum is HUGE, I'll say that you've stumbled into the disconnects on the way down the rabbit hole.

want some real fun... dig deep into displacement current theory

primary and causative of all electrodynamic effects. The fields that your average electrical engineer use are only a secondary

garrettm4,

what you are saying isn't completely new to me, however you gave a good overview of EM history to clear things up i had flowing around in my mind from reading bit and pieces here and there.

Now on to your questions:

I have very limited knowledge of the potentials as given by Maxwell, how do you describe them and what is their significance?

I would say the potentials are the actual state of the vacuum, which means their significance is 100% because with them you can explain everything else.
If you give me a bucket full of potentials and some equations to go along i can calculate everything what is happening in that bucket from that time on.

What do you think of Heaviside and his spin on Maxwell's electromagnetism?

Well he tried to make it simpler for the folks but he only made it much more difficult for any physicist trying to make sense of it all.
But in the end i think he just didnt get what Maxwell was trying to say and based on that made modifications which resulted in much worse.
Use this equation for example:

It shows how confused Heaviside must have been. If Maxwell said the vacuum was like a fluid then the above equation is complete nonsense. Let's formulate it in terms of words:
A force (E) equals (=) the reason of force (grad Phi) minus the effect of the force (dA/dt).
This is wrong on so many levels i cant even explain it. A force cannot be defined on its own effect. This is like saying the force with which you are pushing a car depends on how fast it will accelerate because of the force. It makes no sense, cause and effect need to be seperated into their own equations, like i have shown in previous posts.

I'm familiar with his work. He also says the potentials are primary and that you can freely provoke an A potential by changing a charge distribution in time.
However he only tries to capture the longitudinal A waves or scalar A waves which will require very high voltages to produce any significant power output. I think this is also what tesla was doing most of the time.

Now my idea was/is to use that freely provoked A potential to produce a magnetic field which will be amplified by a soft magnetic material like ferrite, mu-metal or metglas.

Basically what i did was i enclosed a ferrite rod with copper cables and wound a normal coil around it:

The cables are all connected to each other and i drive them with ~100ns 200V pulses which will induce a oscillating magnetic field which will be captured by the secondary coil.
The reason why this will create a magnetic field is because the aether is accelerated into the center of the rod where it will collide and begin to rotate into a vortex forming a magnetic field.

Now the important thing here is that the input and output are not coupled, the input signal does not show an copy of the output signal. So you can amplify the magnetic field without putting in the energy required to do that, the ferrite core or any other core does it for you.
I dont have any COP measurements yet as i'm still trying different things and seeing how it affects the operation. But one thing is clear, there is no correlation between input and output.
