Preface
This is essentially a new publication of the book Stationary Field Theory by H. Ellis Ensle, the original which can be obtained through Amazon.com.
There are some changes and additions here which can be recognized by the different colored font (should be blue). Besides a few corrections, an introduction has been provided on each section to help clarify this somewhat terse work.
The original goal of the work was to put the entire physics into a static continuum model based on classical electro-magnetic theory. While this goal has not yet been acheived, quite a few interesting results have come out of the process and those are included here.
The book is arranged in an uninterrupted sequence of 23 sections. The superscripts within the text point to the end of the section (bottom of the page on this site), while superscripts within the footnotes point to the references page. While not shown, the sections could be grouped into areas which would relate to the subject areas and the relevant chain of proof. The book could be divided into five parts:
Sections 1-3:
These sections describe a purely electromagnetic model of a generic particle, an idealized concept which, while not representing any specific particle, behaves in the manner of a particle by obeying Newtonian mechanics. This model is, however, similar to an electron. The discrete object-like character is a result of an electric field with spherical symmetry which therefore does not propagate. The variable velocity of the particle is modeled when the form has various degrees of oblateness. In this case the particle is systematically propagated coherently like a soliton wave.
Sections 4-11:
These sections go through the process of defining all Newtonian mechanics as a classical electromagnetic effect. Mass directly correlates to the self inductance of the electric field. Kinetic energy directly correlates to the magnetic field of the particle, which exists when the particle propagates. Force is mimicked when two particle solitons' fields overlap. The overlapping fields destroy the symmetry and affect the way the particle propagates (i.e. it accelerates). This appears like force when considering the mass content of the field. These sections are of particular interest since the results are independent of any particular model of charge, so it does not depend on Sections 2-3
Sections 12-14:
These sections show the effects previously discussed when high velocity is involved. No additional postulates are used (e.g. Lorentz Transformations). This process yields all the experimental effects normally attributed to special relativity.
Sections 15-22:
These sections begin with a purely electromagnetic model of a photon, which behaves with discrete and particulate nature, while at the same time, propagating as a normal electromagnetic wave. Most of the basic observations of light are then discussed. This single model is shown to satisfy bulk wave effects observed in light and also photon discrete effects.
Section 23
Finally, the manner in which the photon is produced is discussed. This ends up being very significant, because the nature of the photon limits what form the electron can take. It reveals that within an atom, an electron is actually an electrostatic ring, that remains stationary about the nucleus except when radiating. From earlier hints of possible electron models, it is further indicated that this annular form is also the form of a free electron.
