Well, there's no good reason for it. I'm just tinkering.
If the power was a bit bigger than normal line level 
than I can pick up the magnetic fields from it with 
a sniffer coil. That's what the breadboard will be, 
sources of mag fields that I can wave pickup 
coils at. Nope, not practical at all.

Later,
