Dear Richard,

I was really happy receiving from you one more evidence of
successfully repeated Fizeau experiment. Many scientists, Michelson in
that number, repeated it, but there remained not so many evidences.
Probably, because their experiments were limited by a simple
confirmation of Fizeau's results. I regret, I did not check this
experiment, as the scope of my little laboratory disables me, I
confined myself only to the analysis of existing result.

As regards that you have

>'easily'derived a Galilean solution without the aid of a drag
coefficient.

I would like much to see it, the more that as to the interaction of EM
wave you are surely right, at least in the context of your post. True,
here we should account that EM field is not radiated/absorbed by atom,
as the photon theory describes, but interacts with the atom. The drag
factor results from the transition from the atom model to the
continuum model. So there is no contradiction. You are saying too,

>However the time delay that I incorporated can certainly be equated
to a
drag

I was very busy these days, finishing a new paper, "Comparison of
characteristics of propagation velocities of transversal acoustic
waves and transversal em waves in the near field" which you can read
now in the 3rd volume of our e-journal,

Only now I can read and analyse your web site. I hope to find there
much interesting and helpful; I think I will be able to tell you my
impression in few days.

As to our journal. Our papers can be roughly divided into four
sections: the wave processes in 1D mechanical elastic lines, processes
in electric filters, field theory and theory of non-conformal mapping.
Generally, this all can be unified as the wave physics. We yet did not
publish much material on the field theory, still only the basic
conservation theorems and the experiments on acoustic transversal wave
and longitudinal EM wave. We gradually process our results and, would
we alive, "to be continued". ;-)

I will be pleased much to discuss with you your and our results.

Kind regards,

Sergey.
