Hmmmmm ..... If I used half the weight of batteries for large coils and
then flew and navigated along the length of power lines, could I induce
enough current to keep me aloft?
Is this a new 'free' source of flight power (if the power companies
radiate the energy, how can it be theft?) .... a new navigation
activity (e.g. coast to coast) and a new definition of low level
airlanes?
Energy is taken from the power lines that would not disappear otherwise, so
it would indeed be theft.
The size of the coils would be huge, and heavy. Sorry.
What if you made the coils from cryogenically cooled carbon?
You could use liquid helium for the coolant, and bag the
exhaust for extra lift.
