[TCML] LMD Frequency

[jhowson4 at comcast.net]

Honestly, 
I have taken several advanced E&M courses as part of my current courses towards my physics degree and have never even heard the mention of the terminology you are referring to and nor has my copy of the Griffiths E&M text. Perhaps this is an advanced topic that one would learn of in graduate school? Of which only a few list members have participated in for physics specifically. So its not all that surprising that we did not recognize your acronyms. 
Perhaps you could explain further how these waves are used in the operation of a tesla coil so we might gain an understanding of what you are talking about. 



Thanks,

Anyway moving on to real science per the work of Nikola Tesla. LMD means 
Longitudinal Magneto Dielectric wave. It is the wave which propagates 
through capacitors. Its the reason capacitors pass AC and not DC. Its 
also the wave which traverses between conductors in a Tesla coil. Real 
science has proven that all the same effects a Tesla coil makes can be 
achieved by capacitors in series since a Tesla coil behaves so similar. 

Tesla coils actually have two main resonant frequencies. Evidently no one 
here is aware of that. The frequency observed on an oscilloscope is the 
Transverse Magneto Electric wave. 

I figured you boys ought to know what an LMD wave is since you build Tesla 
coils. 

Do you even know the difference between a dielectric field and a magnetic 
field?
