Now can someone speak on the actual transmission of power
this is in fact a 60 Hz antenna system. I know there are cap banks
hear and there to control the power factor . Back in HS ,, shop
class we were told that industry would run motors that would be
either inductive or capacitive to correct their PF and not get gigged
by the electric company

I hate to think it is going to be a big uhh LOOP antenna
