OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH, Tony....this is a side of you I never would have expected....my my,hooooooweeeeeee...(good one) :-(
TM: ""But as you said, since Jon's design is so unorthodox, one may have to step beyond tradition proven cable construction theories to explain its functionality. ""No, that is not necessary..it was an easy and trivial exercise to calculate the inductance, once the current imbalance was included in the field equations...capacitance would be trivial as well..
TM: ""On the final note, you said that twisting a pair of coax (like Jon's) will minimize the inductance of the run. Does that apply to coax pair only?
As I recall, you mentioned that twisting a pair does not reduced its inductance....since you measured a non twisted [parallel] pair with a twisted one, and the inductance remained the same.""Twisting the wires will minimize the inductance because it forces the wires to be as close together as possible..as an alternative, heat shrinking will also do the same, but if the wires remain parallel, they can easily couple to outside fields..twisting minimizes that as well..so it's really the best option..

PS..one of these days, I'll learn how to spell exercise right the first time..:-)
