20090252297 | Superconductor Electromagnetic Transmitter Device - The present invention is a super conductor electromagnetic transmitter device. This superconductor takes x amount of electro-magnetic energy waves and concentrates them by expulsion into an extremely powerful non-dissipating enhanced Faraday rotated directional output. This expulsion field, since it surrounds a central point in space because of the inner surface of a tube, is concentrated energy in a small space. Thus, it is impulsive and also induces ultra-Faraday rotation effect. In example, instead of Faraday rotation speed of energy wave rotation, the rotation field is much, much faster because of the superconductive Meissner field. | 10-08-2009 |
