What Do You Know About Scalar Energy? An Additional Form Of Wave Present Together With The Normal Transverse EM Energy.


Electromagnetic (EM) energy comes from switching the positive and negative poles of a magnet backwards and forwards. It really is how we produce electricity. EM energy as we know it's a vector form of energy, meaning the electrons associated move from one place to another.

Traditional EM energy has a wave form, similar to the waves of the ocean, or when, as a child , you shook a rope up and down and made a wave that way. These waves are transverse, meaning that the wave's energy goes in an axis (up and down), while the wave itself goes perpendicular to that, forward along the rope or towards the shore.

But James Clerk Maxwell in 1865, Nikola Tesla in 1899, and E. T. Whitaker in 1903 noted that there existed one more type of wave occurring along with the standard transverse EM energy, termed longitudinal EM energy. This form of wave energy is mentioned as scalar energy (as opposed to vector energy), as the particles involved don't travel anywhere. One more name given to the phenomenon is zero point energy.

Let me give you an example: assume you and your friends were lined up next to each other, all facing in the identical direction, and the person next to you gives your shoulder a shove, not hard enough to knock you down, but sufficient to bump you into the person next to you. That person would bump the person next to them, and so on. What happened? Energy was transmitted across the line of people, but nobody truly went anywhere. You and your friends simply created a longitudinal wave.

Longitudinal waves are also known as compression waves. Another image which may aid you to picture a compression wave is when you drop a pebble into water and the waves spread out from that. The pebble drops down (transmitting vector energy as transverse EM energy does); the longitudinal waves form 90 degrees to the stone on the surface of the water, bobbing a leaf up and down but never moving it away. It's not just the identical, but hopefully you get the idea.

So where does such longitudinal (or scalar) EM energy come from? The concept is that when electrons become part of an electrical current in traditional (transverse) EM energy, the remainder of the atom has an equal and contradictory reaction in the other direction, to balance things out. The pebble drops down; the water rushes up to fill up the space. The 2 opposite reactions of the electrons and their atoms leads to longitudinal EM waves to form, just as waves form after a stone drops into water.

Since the early 20th century, a lot of investigators have tried to develop useful applications of scalar EM energy including medical and health purposes, home-based energy production and weaponization, with unstable degrees of success. One of the most recent applications has been the scalar energy pendant reported to have several health benefits.
