I have been looking through the limited available electromagnetic books I can find for the Heaviside curled EM energy flow component, and I can't find it, at least I think they don't put it into textbooks. Does anyone here know what the equation looks like?

Power flow from an electromagnetic field is described by the pointing vector whicfh is just [math] \frac{1}{\mu_0}E \times B [/math]

 

The only references that I could find to the "Heaviside curled EM energy flow component" are in web sites of well-known wackos like Tom Bearden.

 

There is a good reason why such a thing would be omitted from mainstream electrodynamics books.

But still they refer to it. Any place one can look at the Heaviside Component, or anyone here who can state it? Bearden website talks but does not show it.

The Heaviside Component is not something I have ever come across. Not that I am an expert in classical electromagnetism, but if it were mainstream I would have seen it before. Like Dr Rocket, all I can find is Bearden words.

 

I assume the idea of Heaviside was shown to be wrong, or just superseded by by other ideas. I would be interested to see an explicit form of the Heaviside Component.
