The following is from an email to which I replied today.

Given two coherent EM waves superposed in a 50 ohm environment
at considerable distance from any source:

Wave#3 = Wave#1 superposed with Wave#2

Wave#1: V = 50v at 0 deg, I = 1.0a at 0 deg, P = 50 joules/sec

Wave#2: V = 50v at 45 deg, I = 1.0a at 45 deg, P = 50 joules/sec

These two waves superpose to V = 92.38v and I = 1.85a
Note: P = 171 joules/sec

*During each second*, Wave#1 supplies 50 joules of energy and
Wave#2 supplies 50 joules of energy for a total of 100 joules of
energy being supplied *every second* to the superposition process.
Yet the results of that superposition process yields 171 joules
of energy *during each second*, 71 joules more than is being
supplied to the process. Where are the extra 71 joules per second
coming from?

Congratulations, you appear to have solved the world's energy problems for
ever! Electricity will now be too cheap to meter, just like they promised
when nuclear power plants were first built.
