Shouldn't the animations show the half-plates at opposite polarity (or, better, a gradient, as in the drawn animation)? and striped wavefronts showing the polarity of the field? Then receiving antennas graphics could show the effect of either matched or mismatched antennas and impedances and whatnot
Nice explanation! I wrote an article on a similar topic, and tells the story of Armstrong.
