- Wavelengths are not measured in Hertz. They're measured in
- meters. If W-waves move faster than light, and he doesn't
- tell you the actual speed, then you can't find wavelength
- from frequency, or vice-versa, or even a limit to the range

- As for the PN junction thing, I'd like to see his apparatus.
- PN junctions in thermal disequilibrium emit electricity.
- No, that's being kind. I expect he's simply ripped you off.
