Whatever the shape of the wire a DC current can't emit radio waves AFAIK. The witricity experimental device uses AC at MHz frequencies (cf the link I provided, here it is again http://www.mit.edu/~soljacic/MIT_WiTricity_Press_Release.pdf ) Michel - Original Message - From: Harry

The article doesn't appear to contain the term AC. It only speaks of an electrical current although it describes the magnetic field as oscillating at MHz frequencies. Perhaps this is inaccurate. Perhaps it is more correct to say the oscillation starts only when both the power supply (sender)

Ah, no. Electrons in wires generally move far far far too slow to produce synchrotron or cyclotron radiation at a radiofrequency and while I'm not 100% sure I believe that a uniform current in all parts of the loop would remove this effect. DC is still DC if pulsed and will create radiowaves. On
