Energy can be added to electromagnetic waves in several different fashions. We identify a mechanism, distinct from conventional ones, in which compression of lines of force is the active ingredient. There are instances of this in other contexts: a superconductor repels magnets because the magnetic lines of forces are compressed as they are rejected by the superconductor. We show that in some circumstances the number of lines of force, electric and magnetic, in a time dependent system is conserved and amplification occurs when these lines of force are squeezed closer together.
