There was a time when research papers contained a description of the process that led to the major results published in the paper. The reason for including this process was the realization that the reader will learn much from the trials and errors experienced by the author(s). It is unfortunate that the editors of modern scientific journals insist on the deletion of this information in order to minimize the page number. This gives the impression that the author(s) knew from the very start of their investigation how to approach the problem, apply the most effective experimental methods etc.
There is a need to document the inevitable trials and errors suffered by most researchers before arriving at the successful final results. It is the objective of these NOTES to provide examples of studies that led to the conclusion that the proposed method was unlikely to lead to lead to success and therefore pointed the way toward more realistic alternatives.
The paper on “Microwave Wireless Power Transfer between Moving Ships: A Technical Analysis” by M.J. Tanveer of the University of Sahiwal, Pakistan, submitted on 7 May 2026, originated from his interest in the energy ship concept.
It is published in the AHRTA notes for the reason stated above.
