¶ Tension
RBF Definitions
"interaction improves the length of tensile members, relative to given section diameter or given stress, trends are to increasing amplification-- to infinite length with no section. Incredible? No. Every use of gravity is a use of such sectionless tensioning. The electrical tension first employed by man to pull energy through the nonferrous conductors, and later to close the wireless circuit, was none other than such universally available sectionless tension.
“In the phenomena tension man is in principle given access to unlimited performance. It seems fantastic, but there it is!”
