Thank you for the question. A five minute video, nor a marketing brochure cannot delve into the technicalities involved with the ZTron technology. So I would simply refer you to the pending international patents that are available online at the USPTO it you or your friend are looking for a physics level explanation.

However, I am not ducking your qusetion and will the give best answer without getting into the details described in the patents.

Your friend is correct, a constrained electromagnetic wave cannot be disassociated from its constituent parts - those being the E field (electric field) and the H field (magnetic field). What is described in the patent is a method to split the E wave and the H wave and carry them via separate conductors. However, the two fields are still coincident and conjoined. That means that they are still intertwined at a quantum level and each affects the other.

In the patent we say that the center conductor carries the majority of the current and therefore the preponderance of the H field while the second conductor that surrounds the center conductor carries little (about 70 times less) current and hence it predominates in the transmission of the E field.

The net effect is that the characteristic impedance is lowered by almost a factor of two, skin effect is reduced and dielectric polarization is minimized. For the audiophile, it simply means that the signal that exits the cable is closer to the source signal that enters the cable. That is what the video clearly demonstrates.
