Hello Peter,

"My plans for April 1st 2017 are foiled. Argh!"

And you probably would not be able to get a 23000000 USD grant ;-)

Hi Rik et al.,

Citation from the announcement:

"AMEBA takes a radically different approach from traditional electrical
current based transmitter antennas. A baseline implementation employs
electrets (an electrically polarized material created by trapping fixed
charges in a dielectric media) or permanent magnets which are then moved
mechanically. Preliminary survey and analysis of possible approaches
indicates that implementations based on oscillatory or rotational motion of
electrically or magnetically polarized bulk materials, or on mechanically
induced reorientation of material polarization have the greatest potential
of meeting the program goals."

My plans for April 1st 2017 are foiled. Argh!
