7/27/2019 A Moon Bouncing

The use of the Moon as a passive communications satellite was proposed by Mr. W.J. Bray of

the British General Post Office in 1940. It was calculated that with the available microwavetransmission powers and low noise receivers, it would be possible to beam microwave signals

up from Earth and reflect off the Moon. It was thought that at least one voice channel wouldbe possible.

The "moon bounce" technique was developed by the United States Military in the years afterWorld War II, with the first successful reception of echoes off the Moon being carried out atFort Monmouth, New Jersey on January 10, 1946 by John H. DeWitt as part of Project Diana.The Communication Moon Relay project that followed led to more practical uses, including ateletype link between the naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and United States Navy

headquarters in Washington, DC. In the days before communications satellites, a link free ofthe vagaries of ionospheric propagation was revolutionary.

Later, the technique was used by non-military commercial users, and the first amateur

detection of signals from the Moon took place in 1953.

Given that the propagation speed of longitudinal electric waves (which according to thecurrent theory cannot propagate trough a vacuum) is about 1.6 times the speed of light, itwould be a very interesting experiment to see whether or not moon bouncing could beachieved practically with longitudinal electric waves. If Tesla is right, we would see an Earth-Moon-Earth roundtrip time of in the order of 1.6 seconds, while normal EM waves would takemore than 2.5 seconds.

Since the distance between the Earth and the Moon is on average 384,400 km, on averagewe would have a return path of over 750,000 km, which would take more than 2.5 secondsat the speed of light, which is the speed with which EM waves propagate. However,longitudinal waves could make the round-trip in just 1.6 seconds, a difference of 0.9

seconds!

I mean, explaining away a couple of nanoseconds in the CERN neutrino "anomaly", allright, they get away with that. But I would really love to see how they would explain away

an early arrival of no less than 0.9 seconds...

So, if we were to make a longitudinal transmitter of considerable power (Wikipedia saysyou need over 100W for EM waves, but the higher the gain of your antenna's, the lesspower you need) and we would connect that to a computer (transmitting f.e. audible morsecode or something), you could setup a system whereby any (radio amateur) could enter amessage trough the internet to a server, connected to a transmitter which sends the signal

to the moon. Now since any decent internet connection should be able to get the messagefrom the amateurs computer to the transmitter computer well within half a second, anyradio amateur that builds a receiver should be able to determine that the signal he himselfentered on the computer is being received from the moon well before any EM wave couldpossibly travel back and forth between the earth and the moon.

That way, it could be experimentally proven that:

a) longitudinal waves exist,b) they travel at much a faster speed than the speed of light.

This would mean that it could be experimentally proven that the current Maxwell equationsare wrong and that therefore the Lorentz transform is rubbish after all and thus Einsteinanrelativity can finally be put where it belongs: the trash can.

Since radio amateurs have been using moon-bouncing before, such an experiment usinglongitudinal waves may be possible without requiring large amounts of funding.

So, I went looking for some information on how to do this in practice, and it seems that allyou need to be able to transmit and/or recieve longitudinal waves is spherical antenna:

Monstein, Wesley - Observation of scalar longitudinal electrodynamic waves(2002).pdfQuote:

Mathematically a spherically symmetric source can generate only scalar waves; so the ball

antenna can only generate a -wave, and, thus, only a longitudinal electrodynamic E -wave.The spherically symmetric current density J within the ball, that gives rise to the pulsating

surface charge source, is divergenceless, J = 0; so A = 0 and A = 0; and no transverse wave can arise. The ball antenna as a receiver detects the net charge induced bythe component of the incident E field normal to the front surface; so only longitudinal E-waves can be detected.

This is the sketch of the aluminium ball antennas from the pdf:

Now if you would mount such antenna's on a set of ordinary sattellite dishes, you could perhapseasily build longitudinal antenna with high gain, as some people do for the transmission of EMWiFi signals:

It seems to me that this is not only doable, but also doable within a reasonable hobby-budget.

So, which radio amateur is going to get his name in the history books for performing notonly the first longitudinal moon-bounce, but also delivering the final blow to Einstein's nonsense

known as his relativity theory?
