And when you get that information (don't forget the relative position, spacing, and bend of the power lines), I'd like to see at least a summary of the relevant equations, hopefully obviously related to Maxwell's equations (I doubt you're going to find any standard transformer equations for *that* geometry), which say it can't be done. I'm not convinced it can't. Jeff Winslow
