It makes a hell of a near field source.
So, useful for VLF/ULF local navigation,
sounding, lightning detection (as a
receive antenna), and I'm sure other
applications could be imagined.
The 'inventors' appear to lack a basic
understanding of electromagnetism, imagining
they can throw the superposition
out the window in the region where they
want the independent reactive fields to
combine and form a radio wave.
Fortunately they can not, for if they
could, radio and the world as we know it
would cease to exist.
The Gap antenna folk lost all credibility
in my eyes when they adopted this thing
as a product.
Those 'combining reactive field' antennas
can be used to pull the wool over the eyes
of some broadcast engineers who only look at
field strength 'close' to the antenna.
Management has other metrics that quickly
uncover the truth.
