Scalar Wave - Energy

I saw this video on youtube which shows that a metal plate shields coupling between coils. Theoretically this should not happen. I did a test just to check, and the metal did not provide any shielding between the coils in my test.

Stainless??

Stainless is not magnetic - it wont block the magnetic flux between coils

@ darkspeed

Very true. But metal in video was aluminum. That is why it seemed strange to me.

Thanks for the update.

I am not a welder either and I do not have an arc welder. So my experience is almost zero at welding. But the heat generated in a resistor is equal to the current squared times the resistance. Thus I would not expect a wire with almost no resistance to generate much heat. I think a spark has more resistance than a wire so by the same equation the spark would generate more heat at the same current. But, I do not think the spark obeys ohm's law, so the equation may not apply to sparks. But a spark is hot enough to light paper on fire where as the wire does not get that hot. Thus the spark is deffinitely hotter than a wire carrying the same current.

The CB antenna will not transmit out of a Faraday cage, so I think it is just a matter of how much shielding there is from the foil.
