npub17sha6ku2fxgt7k268u5kedl5pn25dqrd6v9eqem7kj3s2248mnfs7x6e06 (npub17sh…6e06) I would like to know why, when I put 100W of AC power into an open (that just so happens to be a tuned dipole)…electrically it looks like a damn resistor! But one that doesn't heat up 100W worth, instead the power magically turns into "radio waves".
WHY? Why does it DO that? What is the mechanism?
As far as I know no one knows, it is merely accepted as so. Precisely characterized, sure*, but never explained: Why?
* Thank you James C. Maxwell and Oliver Heaviside.
