Errr... compress power by speeding up the collapse time of a square wave?
If I were to put that in electrical terms, wouldn't that mean altering the
conductor somehow so that the voltage is increased? (The energy of the
wave is squeezed into a smaller conductor - resulting in higher voltage)
That about right? So what exactly does he mean by 'damped' waves?
