Ed,
I'll have to give this some thought, because if there is one thing
I do believe in it's the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy.
Call it a religious belief if you will. It also agrees with nature
from the biggest to the smallest sacles. That Law is NOT violated
even on the sub-atomic scale. And, pure capacitors DO NOT use
energy, DC, AC, or otherwise. So our logic does not agree with
Nature.
No way energy gets destroyed. No way. What say?
