High Speed Antenna Rails
Railroad trains rolling on the track cannot turn a sharp right angle no matter how they try.
To make a left or right turn a train needs to follow a curve.
The tighter the turn the slower the train must travel to avoid leaving the tracks.
Now consider ground radials.
Conventional ground radials are laid in straight lines, but if sufficient real estate is not available can radials be twirled by curving them to get the desired length into a limited space?
Of course each radial would have its equal but opposite counterpart of equal length curving in exactly the opposite direction. There would not be one twirled radial opposite a straight radial, even if more land was available on one side.
But would the effectiveness of ground radials be diminished by curving? Does the RF flow slow down when it hits a curve?
Now what about an extreme situation where radials make a sharp right angle?
What does electricity do when it encounters a right-angle bend in a wire?
