create energy (increase current) or destroy energy (make current 
"disappear").  

Your real effort should be to develop a model that will adequately 
explain the loss and/or radiation.  <<

Well there is, please explore the whole thread and see pro and con arguments 
and reasoning and most of all, measurements.
No need to repeat the whole thing here.
