Is There More to Electromagnetics than Maxwell's Equations?

12/03/2025 9:03 PM

Two magnets lying parallel, north-to-north and south-to-south, repel each other. According to the video below, equivalent current-carrying coils attract. If this is true, it should be fairly easy to check out.

Phase. Same current, same direction. No mystery.

What has this to do with longitudinal force?

I believe an electron is a very skinny toroidal coil. So skinny it’s almost 2D. And turns can be induced and relaxed, which changes the density and RPM of the structure. That’s it’s momentum, it’s inertia…..NOT the amount of matter. Only it’s acceleration. The physical size changes greatly too.

They have a forward orientation, backward orientation. And line up appropriately to displace. AC current has to flip…. To reverse. And it flips, when resting, it stops to flip. The current cross over.

One charge is 1 e. 2 aligned charges has 2 e. Alignment gives Xe voltage. That voltage is opposite from driving alignment voltage. The M field of current is also opposite of driving M field. And current has inertia too.

If you really want to see how incorrect Maxwell was, feed a precision rectified carrier into the feedpoint of an antenna.

The current of an antenna is flipped……. at max current flow. And that dislocated current field, discharges into space in an instant. Chunky emission. It squeaks, it does not hum.

Hayseed electrical mechanics. We know so wrong and so little.

The bar magnets are separate sources and follow handedness superposition. Like separate charges.

The electric coils have the same current, meaning the same magnetic field. Not two separate fields.

Self interaction.

Wind the coils around a resistive battery and see what happens.

Well, not exactly "equivalent". The permanent magnets have a lot of iron that is not in the air core coils. The magnetic field is generated by unpaired electrons in the iron and shaped by the high permeability iron.

I would not be surprised if the two behave differently.

I don't believe that Maxwell missed something. The individual wires in the coil each have a magnetic field that may be in a different direction than the whole coil?

I also don't think Maxwell missed anything. Ironically, any arguments I can come up with are based on Maxwell's equations...
