locating Steve Mark´s TPU demonstration house

Or maybe this power line theory is just a feeble attempt at drawing attention to a preposterous idea perpetrated by those that are so frustrated with their lack of success with the TPU, that defaming and undermining the inventor and those that believe in it, is one little perceived victory to help cull their pains.

I posted this before on another topic and got the response that all the guy developed was a way to harness power from electric lines.
This press release was all I ever heard about "The Duplicator"  which harnesses the changing magnetic flux of the passing
current to generate additional current into an independent circuit.  It all sounded much like a TPU.   Anyone see where this invention ended up?

I find the thoughts in your post plausible except the above quote.

Near and Far field is still being debated. One thing is certain, not just by publications but my personal experience, Near and Far fields cannot use the same math below a certain frequency. Also, likely above a certain frequency.

Any boundary between near/far is surely a function of factors other than wavelength. In electronic warefare it is taught propagation of energy versus information changes dramatically below 300kHz.

In radiation measurements of power lines you can read a change as high as an order of magnitude with only a few meters difference.

Glory be if I could inductively couple to a 60 Hz line 5k away. I would be doing it now  

Thanks for your info BEP. I´ve still got alot to learn about RF and Induction, good to be on a site like this where there´s people who have working knowledge based on experience.

@BEP

   How about capacitively coupling to the 60hz wave right on the other side of the meter.
