Mark,

There have been some very clever power thefts, which I'll not reveal, but ya, there are some very sharp thieves out there. Because of them, that was what made my previous post towards you seem vicious. I have no patience for "new and improved" theft.

I do not want to condone stealing of power. Yes I understand that it is wrong. From a technical point of view, it is pretty amazing that usable amounts of power can be captured outside of the easement. Magnetic fields drop off rather quickly, I would think all you would get would be along the lines of a radio signal in strength.

You see a problem, I see opportunity. Honestly, the magnetic field off these lines is just wasted power, and I think it's good to collect it. The power companies should just lease transformers to those people who are near such lines. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, it should also help the load on the grid.
