About This Book

A practical consulting engineer awakens to his routine and quietly scorns abstruse theoretical physics while he methodically solves clients’ radio and induction-heating problems. The story follows his technical problem‑solving and wry internal commentary as everyday engineering work collides with curious measurements and odd data. That collision forces inventive adaptation and tests his patience, producing a mix of detailed technical ingenuity, dry humor, and an examination of the tension between abstract theory and hands‑on invention.
