thank you everyone but the power source for this is not grounded, like a car battery or cap, so the wire that is going to ground is not returning or making a circuit in that respect. so in this case there would be no current flow through the wire (or person) going to ground right?

if i can then simplify it to a simple battery circuit; a battery circuit with a conductor between terminals, another conductor branching off of the said conductor to the ground would there be significant current in that ground connection conductor? i don't think so, right?

i know the charge would flow into the person but would it flow through that person. practical eg.; if i have a capacitor (with sufficient charge to electrocute), i (eg, with one hand) hold a wire that is connecting the terminals, at the time of discharge, why would the charge (that is flowing...

why would the current flow through a person when it is already flowing through a copper conductor that is connecting the terminals.

thanks. it's just some fun, playing around with interesting stuff, I'm not much into nightclubs as an alternative and i don't drink, so moving antennas around a metal room and watching the spectral analysis is what i can do instead, actually i find it fascinating

it is this "garage research" which has actually been responsible for a lot of our modern inventions. for me it is to go beyond theory and have fun exploring, looking for interesting findings.

it seems that i will have to build it (the aforementioned set up, i.e. tx & rx in a metal box) and take measurements. as the theory seems too dependent on confounding factors. but i would appreciate some wild guesses from anyone willing as to the maximum percentage of the source's tx power i...

i used that borrowed terminology to exclude the antenna's losses

so how about from the 1W tx in the box. i might be able to have 0.5W incident on the rx antenna? 0.5W loss for distractive interference and imperfect reflections, etc. would that be in the ball park?

i was hoping to use the same antenna design for tx and rx, so as to match the two antennas. and of course match the lead and transmitter.

so for those frequencies that do not have destructive interference. would the ballpark figure be between 0.5W to 1W on the rx from the 1W tx source inside the RF reflective box?

i found the answer it is called an "Integrating sphere"

thank you, it is too advanced for me. but this is more accurately what I'm trying to ask

sorry new at this forum thing, the decorum is unfamiliar but this is more accurately what I'm trying to ask
