Keith Nagel writes, Yep, that's it exactly. The resonator has two modes, an inductive slow wave mode and a capacitive fast wave mode. The capacitive coupling permits energy to travel directly along the axis of the coil, which means the coil is a true resonator rather than a simple inductor.

Hi Jones. Yes, coils have multiple resonances, although generally speaking you'll see a fundamental resonance predicated on the lumped value of the distributed capacity and inductance of the coil. This is why top loading of a coil with a capacity can change the overall resonance, to a point.

Hi Horace. I wanted to address you points with the article text, but the link has gone sour... Anyway, I think your differentiation is moot. I can build a radio circuit that displays behavior EXACTLY as shown in the graph. The link I posted to Nimtz illustrates how this can be done ( my own work

Jones, Stephen, and John, All of us seem to be on a similar track. Here are some things that seemed to self generate out of the Big Bang Simulator. 1. The universe seems to be open according to the WMAP study, but local clusters do form in the Simulator and do expand outward as a group.
