Priority 3 (related work that builds on Steinmetz's principles; mainstream engineering does not accept Dollard's wider claims [memory: high]): - Dollard quotes Discharges p.13-14 (1911 ed.) that the electrostatic-charge conception of the dielectric field is "prehistoric", and that there is "no more sense in thinking of the capacity current as current which charges the conductor with a quantity of electricity, than there is of speaking of the inductance voltage as charging the conductor with a quantity of magnetism" (Steinmetz's symmetry of magnetic flux Phi and dielectric flux Psi; his Figs. from Discharges pp.10-11). - Dollard cites the Transient book (1909) for the infinite inductance of an isolated filament and builds on it: the stored energy "cannot be quickly retrieved due to the finite velocity of propagation of the magnetic field. This gives a non reactive or energy component to the inductance which is called electromagnetic radiation." This is Steinmetz's own claim 7 (radiation as an effective resistance from finite field velocity) restated by Dollard. - Section "Work of Tesla, Steinmetz, and Faraday": Steinmetz "develops some rather unique equations for capacity [Steinmetz 1909, p.11 ff.]". Google results (same session) also showed Dollard's "Introduction to Dielectric & Magnetic Discharges in Electrical Windings" (1982; cites Steinmetz's Discharges 1914 2nd ed. and Transient book), "Four Quadrant Representation of Electricity", "Theory of Antirelativity" (2013) and Gestalt Reality posts (2012) using "dielectric induction" and energy-transfer language. Not opened.

Bears on: claims 3 and 7 (the dielectric/magnetic energy symmetry and finite-velocity radiation are the parts of Steinmetz most used by later alternative researchers); also a direct link to the TernionAG and Moray projects' vocabulary. Result: positive (related work).
