now, are there some lines that this would work on better than others? I bet there is a relationship between total volts moving through the lines and the height of the lines from the gound as to wether or not this trick would work. I wonder how hard it would be to measure a magnetic field strength at any point directly under the lines? Which brings up the point, is there something to be said about the effects of living within and around that magnetic field? you see homes and neighborhoods with in, if not directly under such lines in many places.
