. . . the establishment does not recognize the term "scalar wave."
Yet the term is used in alternative science.

NASA has identified water vapor emission into the upper atmosphere from commercial transport aircraft, particularly as it relates to the formation of persistent contrails, as a potential environmental problem. Since 1999, MSE has been working with NASA-LaRC to investigate the concept of a transport-size emissionless aircraft fueled with liquid hydrogen combined with other possible breakthrough technologies

The rational wiki has all the definitions of scalar wave I know of explained reasonably well in layperson terms:

I see two instances now of terminology that is used by alternative science and should be in the dictionary but is not in the dictionary; instead the researcher is redirected to a different term, which serves to confuse things quite a bit.
On this thread: Scalar wave is redirected to scalar field.
In physics, a quantity described as "scalar" only contains information about its magnitude. In contrast, a "vector" quantity contains information both about its magnitude and about its direction. By this definition, a "scalar wave" in physics would be defined as any solution to a "scalar wave equation".[4] In reality, this definition is far too general to be useful, and as a result the term "scalar wave" is used exclusively by cranks and peddlers of woo.
Solutions to scalar wave equations are actually quite prevalent (and useful) in physics. Some prominent examples include acoustic (sound) waves, the motion of a taut string being stretched (such as a guitar string being plucked), and the motion of waves in water (such as the ripples from a stone being dropped into a pond). In contrast, electromagnetic waves are vector quantities derived as solutions to a set of vector wave equations (in this case Maxwell's equations).
The concept of a "scalar field theory"[5] also exists, and plays an important role in several branches of physics. It should be noted that while no scalar field has ever been observed in nature, the physics behind scalar field theory is still sound. In fact, it is believed that the Higgs boson may provide the first evidence of such a field (the Higgs field is hypothesized to be a scalar field). In comparison, "scalar waves" have never been observed in nature, and are rooted in sound physics about as well as the average chemtrail is rooted to the ground.
The main current proponent of scalar wave pseudophysics is zero-point energy advocate Thomas E. Bearden, who has concocted an entire pseudoscientific "scalar field theory" unrelated to anything in actual physics of that name. It starts with Maxwell's equations originally having been written as quaternions; Bearden holds that the (mathematical) transformation to vectors lost important information.[1]
Bearden says that scalar waves differ from conventional electromagnetic transverse waves by having two oscillations anti-parallel with each other, each originating from opposite charge sources, thereby lacking any net directionality. The waves are conjugates of each other, and so, if left unperturbed, can pass through ordinary matter with relative ease. So they are not included in mainstream physics. They don't work like ordinary longitudinal waves either. (Got that?)[6]
You can apparently make scalar waves with a bifilar coil (one wound with a pair of wires instead of a single wire) and pushing opposing currents through the wires (join the far ends together). So if you want to experiment with this stuff, you can build a remarkable just-post-steampunk lab filled with coils and wires and sparks.[7] The really astonishing thing about this — which fascinated Tesla for years and years[8] — is that you can pour practically limitless amounts of power into such an apparatus and achieve precisely nothing other than converting electricity into heat.

It sounds as if he is saying that:
Scalar waves are electrostatic waves that vibrate longitudinally. (In contrast to electromagnetic waves which oscillate laterally.)
Scalar fields are analogous to voltage fields, but without direction, and they are everywhere.

Thats why when you see terms like scalar wave its a free energy scam or there talking about HARP or ive even seen them used in chemtrail pages. Its simply a misunderstanding by the person using it because they dont understand the math equations involved.

Okay so NASA is a part of the scam and NASA is all confused, too.
No mary you are what the site from NASA is is there open disclosure your seeing raw research materials posted by actual scientist. Often times in raw research they have scalar mentioned usually when studying plasmas like the sun. So a scientist could get the bright ides to say scalar wave propagation in a solar medium. What he means is hes discussing wave propagation in a solar medium and this is his scalar data. just for an example.Doesnt mean he thinks there are scalar waves. Then someone with no clue finds this it ends up posted on scribe and hundreds of other websites as proof for some theory there trying to sell you.

Prof. Konstantin Meyl is German and wonders about the education of Americans. I'm American and I wonder, too.

I'm not so sure about that.
Who wrote the paper? Who did he work for?
Why was it written? What does it really say?
Those are a few of the questions a researcher might want to know the answers to.
I don't think this is the smoking gun you seem to believe it to be.

See that 'CR' in the document number? It's a contractor report, for the advanced energetics group, now defunct.
They pay some grant money to a contractor and say 'write me a report on this stuff' and that's what you get back. They publish that stuff as-is. I've seen others that were worse. The infamous 'ZOG' paper that Bearden wrote that ended his AF career was a lot more entertaining.
Is it one of these papers?
