Theoretical Part
For the theoretical foundation of the scalar waves Konstantin MEYL[8] relates to the undamped
wave equation
∂2E ∂2E ∂2E 1 ∂2E
+ + =
∂x 2 ∂y 2 ∂z 2 c2 ∂t 2
1 ∂ 2E
∆E =
c2 ∂t 2
and shows, that the LAPLACE-Operator ∆ applied to a spatial vector field can be decomposed
according to vector analysis into two parts
∆E = grad div E + rot rot E
∆E = ∇ ( ∇ g E ) + ∇ × ∇ × E
Now we look at the right side of the equation. The speaker explains that the first term represents
a scalar wave and the second term represents a transversal wave, or more precise, the first term
has a scalar part and the second term has a vector part. With this equation the co-existence of
longitudinal scalar waves together with transversal vector waves in electromagnetic radiation is
founded[7].

The charge q+ is a free conducting electron in a receiving wire, for example. The longitudinal
forces FL on the test charge q+ caused by the moving electrons in the transmitter cancel each
other out in large distances, but not the transversal forces FT, which add each other. They
As shown[19] the forces between charges are important for calculation of this problem. But this
can be applied to the whole physics, then in every experiment known by the author at the very
bottom end only forces between charges are measured. Everything what happens in-between
this charges and how this forces are communicated is subject of different physical models,
which probably do not have many things in common with that, what really happens (An exam-
ple: never a photon has been observed but only a quatisized movements of a charge, which is
then interpreted as a photon interaction.)
The term „wave“ can for example only be applied to a thing which is able to oscillate. And
for that an inertia is necessary then without inertia an oscillation is certainly not possible. But
how should an „empty“ space (vacuum) be able to transmit waves without a medium (aether)?
Therefore we have to restrict us mainly on the measurable force laws, and must always have in
mind, that the different answers to the question, how this forces are transmitted, uses physical
models only.
The force of a Hertz dipole on a charge in great distances is in close approximation equal
zero, what means, that no far reaching longitudinal forces are expected. An other thinkable
construction of a transmitter is a single oscillating charge (similar to a first order sound wave
transmitter). But unfortunately it was never possible to build a single electric charge oscillating

in time. This is the law of the conservation of charge. And for this reason every transmitter
consists at least of two opposite polarities which are mutually charged and recharged. Therefore
each antenna has two opposing charged poles which are changing in time. But everywhere we
have two opposing charged poles the longitudinal forces of this poles on an other charge having
the same distant to both poles are canceled out perfectly. Only the transversal forces can
“survive” this cancellation in far distances.
The statement of the speaker, that the longitudinal waves can propagate much faster than
the transversal wave (which always propagate wit the speed of light) can not be understood on
the basis of the presented wave equation. From this equation we can rather say that all wave
parts – therefore also the longitudinal parts – have the same speed. If the longitudinal wave
would be propagated with an other speed than the transversal wave, then not both parts can be
co-exist in the same wave equation but both parts would require their own independent wave
equation.
The bottom of the FARADAY cage is electrically connected with one end of the receiver‘s
primary coil. In analogy to TESLA‘s patents we call this connection the „Ground connection“.
The other end of the receiver‘s primary is again connected to a sphere of the same size. Finally
on the receiver‘s secondary coil a load consisting of two anti-parallel connected LEDs is
connected. Other estimated parameters are:
Experimental Runs
1) The HF-Source is switched on and tuned to an „average“ frequency of 3.9 MHz.
Then the LEDs on the receiver and transmitter glow approximately with the same
brightness.
Scalar wave hypothesis: The transmitter and the receiver are tuned to each other. An
energy exchange (with scalar waves) takes place from the transmitter to the receiver.
2) The frequency is lowered to about 3.8 MHz until the transmitter‘s LEDs are glowing
only, but not the receiver‘s LEDs.
Scalar wave hypothesis: Transmitter and receiver are out of phase. No energy trans-
mission takes place, i.e. the receiver does not get any power.
3) The frequency is tuned upwards to about 4.0 MHz until the receiver‘s LEDs glow,
but not the transmitter‘s LEDs.
Scalar wave hypothesis: Transmitter and receiver are coupled ideally. Now an en-
ergy gain (over-unity) takes place, i.e. the receiver gets more energy via scalar
waves (origin?) than is supplied by the transmitter.
4) All presented effects do not diminish if a FARADAY cage is placed over the sphere of
the transmitter.
5) If now the “Earth wire” is cut off, then the Receiver’s LEDs stop glowing but the
transmitter’s LEDs does again not glow.
Scalar wave hypothesis: There is no resonance so that the receiver does not get any
energy.
With some people from the audience and with Konstantin MEYL the author has made an other
run after the presentation. The following has been checked:
6) Again the configuration 3) is set up. Only the receiver‘s LEDs are glowing. Then the
receiver is moved on a flat cardboard away from the transmitter of about one meter,
i.e. the distance between the two spheres increases from 4 to 5 meters (but not the
length l of the „Earth wire“). Result: The intensity of the LEDs glow does not
change, neither on the receiver nor on the transmitter. The result does not depend
from a change of distance of about 20%.
Remark: The intensity of the LEDs glow changes dramatically if the receiver’s trans-
former is touched by hand (or better enclosed by hands). This does not depend of the
distance of the touching person relative to the transmitter.
The HERTZ dipole pumps charges (electrons) between the two reservoirs (spheres) back and
fourth. As commonly known electric waves are emitted due to this charge acceleration.
Both transformers in Meyl‘s experiment have two functions. One serves to impress a cur-
rent into the connecting wire („Earth wire“) between the spheres, the other serves as a kind of
detecting coil to measure the current along the connecting wire. We can draw the following
diagram:
After observing the experiment the author has some doubt if not the presented effects can be
explained without the aid of radiation (either scalar or vector field radiation). At least two
suggestions are possible.
Suggestion 2
Due to symmetry both transmitter and receiver transformers do have resonant frequencies
which are close together. This resonant frequencies are determined mainly by stray inductance
and capacitance of the coils.

The frequency of both coils are slightly different. Therefore with correct adjusted amplitudes it
is possible that the LEDs glow on one transformer side only, on both sides together or even not,
depending only on the applied frequency.
The suggestion 2 is able to explain all points 1) to 6) of the experimental results without an
introduction of a scalar wave hypothesis.
The conclusion, that an arrangement similar to the HERTZ dipole is operated with resonant
transformers having near resonances is sufficient to understand the experiment. The use of
radiating waves has never been necessary for explanation. And because the spheres do not have
a great influence (almost no radiation) also a FARADAY cage does not influence the outcome of
this experiment.
Additionally the observation 6), that an enclosing of the transformers by hands does obvi-
ously influence the winding capacity and therefore shifts the resonant frequency, can be under-
stood with this suggestion 2.
With all transformer pairs an energy transmission has been detected with the first runs, so that
with the right frequency two anti parallel LEDs has glowed on the receiver. The optimal energy
transmission has taken place with the following different frequencies:
a) 850 kHz; 1.9 MHz and 18.7 MHz
b) 1.23MHz; 13 MHz (depends on the position of the freely movable coils)
c) 1.1 MHz
The ball electrodes have a strong influence on the amount of the transmitted energy but not on
the resonant frequency itself. If the capacity CK between the two spheres would have an influ-
ence then the resonance frequency would have to change – but it doesn’t.
Instead of the aluminum coated polystyrene spheres of Ø 6cm also some copper plates with
an area of about 400cm2 have been used. They increased the transmitted energy even more,
because there are now more oscillating charges available for the „Earth wire“.
Then the current in the connecting „Earth wire“ was measured. The measurement has been
done with an oscilloscope measuring the voltage drop along a shielded wire potentiometer,
which has been placed in series to the „Earth wire“. The impedance of the potentiometer is not
only real but also has in inductive part. This complicates the exact quantitative measurement but
still can be used for qualitative measurings.
In this way for all three transformer pairs the current has been detected. The current has then
shown the following behavior:
With a sufficient high resistance the energy transmission has been reduced almost down to the
level of always present stray fields. All this current measurements have proved that the main
part of the energy is certainly transmitted through the wire. The energy transmission through air
between the spheres was in this cases very small (or even zero).
All transmitter primary coils have shown different resonances, on which the HF generator
voltage has dropped close to the LED threshold voltage. The replication, that the LEDs light on
the transmitter side goes out was not achieved at the first runs. But this can be done by increas-
ing the generator’s output impedance or by a better tuning of the HF source amplitude. So this
feature depends on the used generator but it can be arranged for many generator types.
Other Experiments
Jean Louis NAUDIN[9] in France has replicated an experiment of Stanislav and Konstantin AV-
[1]
RAMENKO and published the results on internet. Here with a lower frequency of about 10kHz
a high voltage transformer is operated which is connected with one single wire to a distant bulb
filled with Xenon gas. In operation this bulb shows a bright light. This experiment comes close
to TESLA’s earlier patent[13] for lighting with high frequency currents and high voltages and it
shows, that the energy transmission at least partly happens through the connecting wire.
Summary
The results of the Meyl experiment do not prove the existence of scalar waves because it can be
fully explained with conventional knowledge and without the aid of electric, magnetic or elec-
tromagnetic waves in air.
A longitudinal particle wave instead of an electromagnetic wave can for some instances be
taken into consideration, but for such low voltages are used as in the Bregenz experiment it is
not very likely to happen. Also MEYL[6]-S.199 writes for example, that for the proposed conver-
sion of electrons into electron-neutrinos a voltage above 512kV would be necessary.
The claim of a „wireless“ transmission must be dropped then one conducting wire still was
in use. A over-unity effect (i.e. higher average output power than average input power) is also
not proven with this experiment because the real power has not been measured. For such a
measurement the output power of the generator must be compared to the power on all involved
LEDs, what has not been done.
More independent experiments must help to clarify, if the suggestion 2 is really true, or if
there are other causes for the presented effects of this experiment, or if it is really a prove of the
existence of electric scalar waves and of an over-unity energy transmission as Konstantin MEYL
claims.
