In regards to determine the effective velocity of longitudinal transmission, I have not seen any quantative researches. Hence, I have looked to my local AM radio station for a reference. This station (KAZN) is located exactly 4.4359 miles from my test point, and broadcasts on a frequency of 1300 kc. Therefore in any attempt to receive the tower’s overground signal, no ionospheric propagation reflection delay will exist. As it is merely the groundwave which presents itself at these short distances.

This experiment is comprised of two different receivers: a Tesla transformer crystal radio setup, and a 1920’s single coil crystal set. The Tesla receiver is Earthed directly to a grounded network, whereas the other set employs an antenna and ground as well. A Rigol 1054z oscilloscope is used to analyze the phase shift of the waveforms.

Overall setup for reception – a resonant Tesla transformer (terminated to Earth) is shown on the left, whereas a Hertzian crystal set is connected to an antenna on the right.

In any circumstance, whether it be any local station, or different time of reception, the longitudinal wave broadcasted by the AM transmitter always leads the waveform of the overground signal. That is, the overground signal or transverse electromagnetic wave lags some degree, given it propagates at nearly the speed of light. Taking into consideration the distance this signal must traverse, and the velocity of light in air (186,228 mi/sec.), it takes approximately 0.0000238197 seconds for it to arrive at the receiving antenna. Hence, we can use this as a reference point in determining the velocity of the telluric wave.

In phase relationship of two overground receivers. Yellow is coming from a magnetic loop antenna – based receiver, compared to a seperate receiver employing an antenna and Earth ground. Both are exactly tuned to AM 640, showing equal arrival time of wave’s velocity.

The following are measurements taken using the KAZN station. Note that it is the audio which is analyzed, so that any receiver phase shifting is not interpreted. The delay time is relating to the advancement of the longitudinal signal.

    Thank you! Your measurement of 228,772 mi/sec. is remarkably close to pi /2 * c which was suggested over a century ago by Nikola Tesla and George Fitzgerald. Nothing can travel faster than c…
