Arb, Americanist does not have any interest in what you are saying, despite the fact that I personally like the way you lay out facts. No matter how precise, simple, down to earth things you are going to come up with, you'll simply get something as idiotic as "do generators crank out the juice?" from that person.
Matthew 7:6
Radiance refers to a transfer of the energy to the surroundings. The Earth is part of the sun's surroundings. Therefore the electromagnetic energy that comes to Earth from the sun is radiant electromagnetic energy.

Choose your words carefully... Are you referring to radiant energy when you mention electromagnetic energy?
If so, are you stating radiant energy comes from a generator?
I suspect most if not all of those 6.5% losses represent the amount of radiant energy, the other 93.5% I would not characterize as radiant, though once it reaches the destination, much of it becomes radiant energy also, like the radiant energy from your toaster.
Transmission and distribution losses in the USA were estimated at 6.6% in 1997[9] and 6.5% in 2007.[9] In general, losses are estimated from the discrepancy between energy produced (as reported by power plants) and energy sold to end customers; the difference between what is produced and what is consumed constitute transmission and distribution losses.
The electromagnetic energy transmitted along a power line is engineered to have as little radiance as reasonably and economically possible. The whole idea of power distribution is to make the radiated energy as small as possible, and deliver as much power as possible to the destination. There are some small losses in power lines, and other components of the grid like transformers, and some of that could be attributed to radiant electromagnetic energy, such as infrared radiation emitted when the power line or transformer heats up, but the vast majority is not radiant.

The point is you're selling a falsehood. A generator forms a dipole at set intervals. A dipole in actuality is spin (+/-).
If frequency and amplitude are the same as temperature and pressure, why can't a dipole be spin? For that matter why can't a magnetic field be called electromagnetic radiation? Apparently words don't mean the same thing to Americanist as they do to scientists and engineers.

You think you understand concepts that you don't understand. Earlier you mentioned temperature and heat. While they can be related in some instances, they are not synonymous as I illustrated with the example of high temperature in space of millions of degrees, where you can freeze to death from the low heat.

What are you calling radiant energy? The magnetic field from the field magnets in the generator? A magnetic field and electromagnetic radiation may sound somewhat similar, and they are even related in some instances, but once again, they aren't the same thing.
This spin is pulsed as well as amplified along the lines to collect and contain radiant energy. In essence, radiant energy is then brought into the midsts of this field via a path of conductive material.
My guess is that you are confused about some basic terminology and fail to understand distinctions between terms like temperature, heat, and pressure versus frequency and amplitude; dipole and spin, magnetic field and electromagnetic radiation, etc. It is not a guess, but rather a fact, that you come across as very confused in your communication.
Feel free to take a guess.
If you want to clarify what you think you mean by dipole and radiant energy in terms of that schematic of an AC generator, feel free.
A loop of wire spinning through a magnetic field will create an alternating current.
Fair enough!

Electricity is channeled energy, so what do these pathway consist of? What exactly is sent through power lines?
These are questions you should answer on your own... Not go off on a tangent or try to leap ahead in the process of responding.
You got your response, short but containing all details such as speed of propagation of EM field and how it relates to speed of electron movement. Pretty complete. If you don't understand these concepts, you better do some homework, like right now.
So we're back to the flow of electrons, and generators are doing what? Not hardly complete... Although rather elementary.

Thanks, I'll take the logical analysis capability as a compliment rather than a criticism. I have plenty of creative right brain function which I used in extracurricular music activities where I often got a chance to play ad-lib solos that were completely creative.

I hate to say this Arbitrageur, but you seemed to suffer from linear and convergent thinking mentality. You seem to rely almost exclusively on logical analysis. Arbitrageur you discount aesthetic and intuitive information, which is the right-hemisphere function of our brain because it is considered less valuable to our culture. Arbitrageur is more concerned with measuring events and analysing their meaning, he does not like creating, that is why he has lost the ability to accept thing that sound beyond the science of today.
Science fiction does indeed have a way of becoming science fact...sometimes. But not all science fiction becomes fact, and until it DOES become science fact, it's still science fiction. So I don't know what you mean when you say you know science fiction is real, that sounds pretty silly if you mean today, but if you mean someday some of it will come true, I'd agree with the latter.
I don't believe, but I know science fiction is real.

So 547000 is right, I'm not lacking in creative abilities or intuition. However, one thing I learned as my physics studies progressed from Newtonian or classical mechanics to quantum mechanics, is that the intuition that served me so well in the former, didn't serve me at all in the latter. I hear the same comment from most scientists who study quantum mechanics. The observations are NOT intuitive.
Intuition and creativity still has a place in designing new experiments and tests, but once the experiment is designed and conducted, the experimental results and observations are what matters. Wanting the experimental result to agree with your intuition when it doesn't, isn't very helpful, but that is what seems to motivate some people who post in this thread with theories about the universe as they'd intuitively like it to be, rather than the universe as it actually is. When Feynman said that if we don't like this universe, we should go somewhere else, where the rules are more aesthetically pleasing, that was an admission that what we observe is sometimes NOT aesthetically pleasing, but intuitively fantasizing and wishing it were so doesn't make it so.
Until roughly the last century or a little more, mankind didn't have the ability to even perceive the quantum world, so we had little incentive, from a Darwinian perspective, to evolve abilities to understand it. I suspect that may be one reason it's so difficult for many of us to grasp or reconcile with our intuition.

I'm a huge science fiction fan. I especially liked how the writers of Star Trek wrote some at least somewhat plausible science fiction tech into the screenplay. But some of the technologies, like the "Heisenberg compensator" (which allows transporter technology to overcome the Heisenberg uncertainly principle limitation), are a lot easier for a writer to write than for an engineer to design.
I'm glad we agree on that but I'm certainly not THE science expert in this thread, as we are fortunate to have other very knowledgeable people posting here as well, like buddhasystem and bobathon just to name a couple of others who contribute real science knowledge here, and there are others also.

In this case your intuition about the spinning ball interacting with the atmosphere serves you well, and it's astonishing that Hoagland and DePalma wouldn't consider this interaction which is well known in Golf, baseball pitches, and even a game that I play, tennis. I love putting all kinds of crazy spins on a tennis ball that will make it either travel further, or drop quicker than my opponent expects, if they didn't watch how I hit the ball. But a good tennis player can observe your stroke and predict the ball trajectory from that.
I have a question from a video I watch by Richard Hoagland. Why does a spinning ball shot at a angle go up higher and farther than a non-spinning ball, which Hoagland say, it violates Newtonian mechanic. I just wanted your thoughts on it. I guess a spinning ball could lessen air friction. What do you think about his magnetic field explanation. Is he just crazy or rational.
Remember I said I didn't hate ignorance but I hate hoaxers? I actually think Hoagland crosses into hoaxer territory, as I find it hard to believe he can be so ignorant to believe half the crap he puts out. If he does, he's crazy, but if he doesn't, he's a hoaxer who laughs all the way to the bank since some people pay to hear his nonsense. He's featured in the "UFO Watchdog Hall of Shame" for his BS:
The Magnus effect is the phenomenon whereby a spinning object flying in a fluid creates a whirlpool of fluid around itself, and experiences a force perpendicular to the line of motion. The overall behaviour is similar to that around an aerofoil (see lift force) with a circulation which is generated by the mechanical rotation, rather than by aerofoil action....
The Magnus effect explains commonly observed deviations from the typical trajectories or paths of non-spinning balls in sport, notably association football, table tennis, tennis,[9] volleyball, golf, baseball, cricket and in paintball marker balls.
The curved path of a golf ball known as slice or hook is due largely to the ball's spinning motion (about its vertical axis) and the Magnus effect, causing a horizontal force that moves the ball from a straight-line in its trajectory.[10] Back-spin (upper surface rotating backwards from the direction of movement) on a golf ball causes a vertical force that counteracts the force of gravity slightly, and enables the ball to remain airborne a little longer than it would were the ball not spinning: this allows the ball to travel farther than a non-spinning (about its horizontal axis) ball.
. . . Although Faraday never adduced an experiment to prove the cutting of flux linkages in the axially rotating magnet experiment, he was troubled to his last days about his interpretation of his experiment. It took until 1978 when DePalma, reference (1), did the critical experiment to determine if the form of electrical induction was the same as the flux cutting originally proposed by Faraday. The problem has been re-stated by other workers who would attempt to determine whether flux lines rotate with, or are spatially independent of the axially rotating magnet. To date, no experiment has been found either to confirm or disprove the axially rotating flux line hypothesis, reference (2). . . .
The first place electrical science went wrong is when electrical phenomena which were not subject to unambiguous mathematical interpretation were simply omitted from electrical curricula.
The second place electrical science went wrong is concisely illustrated in a sequence of evolution of electrical machinery abstracted from "Exciting Electrical Machines", by E. R. Laithwaite, D.Sc., Ph.D., C.Eng., F.I.E.E., F.I.E.E.E. Professor of Heavy Electrical Engineering, Imperial Technical College, London, England. Reference (3). . . .
