  PlanetMath: scalar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
A scalar is a quantity that is invariant under coordinate transformation, also known as a tensor of rank 0.
As such, a scalar can be an element of a field over which a vector space is defined.
This is version 4 of scalar, born on 2001-11-15, modified 2004-06-16.

 Scalar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, a scalar is a physical quantity which assumes a single value which is independent of the coordinate system being used to describe the physical system.
A vector is a physical entity which has a magnitude which is a scalar, but in addition, in contrast with a scalar, has a direction.
The components of a vector as such are not scalars, since they change with a change of coordinate system; a scalar field may however for one choice of the coordinate system be equal to a particular component.

 Scalar multiplication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, scalar multiplication is one of the basic operations defining a vector space in linear algebra (or more generally, a module in abstract algebra).
Scalar multiplication may be viewed as an external binary operation or as an action of the field on the vector space.
A geometric interpretation to scalar multiplication is a stretching or shrinking of a vector.

Scalar values are calculated at all intersections between this plane and element edges.

 barkenhausen effect scalar detector zpe bearden bifilar caduceus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Scalar detectors can be classified by the translation mode used, the bandwidth of the signal to which the detector will respond, and whether the response of the detector is linear with respect to the applied scalar signal or not.
As the incident scalar wave modulates the field of the magnet, the modulations of the magnetic field induce an electromagnetic copy of the scalar signal into the resonant circuit by induction.
In the Barkhausen effect scalar detector, the core material is biased to the critical point in a divergent magnetic field produced by permanent magnets that are shielded from external electromagnetic fields.

The 'scalar' generated this way is a 'residue' of the application and cancellation of two opposite electromagnets' fields.
The article author and interviewees did say that if scalar fields were generated by opposing coils, driven by a composite of frequencies starting down in the ELF range and including components into the less-than-1-megahertz RF range, much stronger biological effects could be generated than when using non-cancelling magnetic fields.

 Scalar Field and All That
An interesting recent discovery is the property that a wide class of scalar theories dynamically approach the behavior of general relativity at the present epoch, so that what we perceive as the results of GR may be the results of any of that class of scalar-tensor theories.
This is because the scalar field couples to the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, \rho - 3p, which is zero for radiation and relativistic particles.
The Lagrangian for a scalar field is very simple and from this one can use Noether's Theorem in the usual way to form the energy-momentum tensor and identify the density \rho and pressure p (equations; also in pdf).

Scalar EM is the brainchild of Lt. Col.
Bearden, a systems analyst and wargames specialist who has been advocating a view of electromagnetics which is based on the notion of a vast, unseen background of scalar energies (as opposed to vector energies) which underly all physical reality.
That's because the scalar part of the quaternion, according to Bearden, was the part that captured or modeled the "stress on the aether"-- which leads to curving/warping spacetime a la Einstein.

 The Scalar Waves Transmitter by JL Naudin
These types of translators (which can also be wound at other angles to facilitate the production of different wave types) tend to create 'free' A, 'free' B, or 'free' E fields which have been separated from the em source wave by selective cancellation of the unwanted component fields of the source wave.
In contrast to the common Hertzian transverse vector waves, scalar waves travel, or rather materialize at the receiving end, at superluminal velocities.
Scalar waves also quite effectively penetrate trough objects, such as a Faraday Shield, which would stop an ordinary electromagnetic (Hertzian type) wave.

 Analyzing Individual Data Sets   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Standard visualization techniques such as tetrahedral dart vector glyphs are used to represent vector and scalar fields simultaneously; their direction and length correspond to the direction and magnitude of the vector field at that data point.
The extrema values, m_r and M_r, can be chosen in a number of different ways: by the individual data set extrema, m_d and M_d; by the global extrema over all the data sets, m_g and M_g, or by user-defined bounds, m_u and M_u.
The streamlines and flow field movies may be colored by the scalar field of choice, but the range is constrained to [m_d,M_d].
