High tension lines (or any other AC power lines or flows that are under load) generate an alternating magnetic field outside the wires insulation. What I was wondering is what if any effect would placing a secondary Induction coil around the outside of such a line with a load applied to the secondary as well would have on the lines flow? Would it increase the use of energy from the line? As I understand about induction coils the energy used in the primary is used to make the magnetic field that induces the current in the secondary. But in this case the energy being used in the Primary coil IE the line is already under load and is already producing the magnetic field to energize a secondary coil! Other wise in simpler form an induction transformer whether or not it is connected to a load to use the output the primary is still using the same amount of energy as it would if the secondary is loaded or not, so power lines and such that are already loaded should I would think be able to act as the primary for an induction transformer as it already is producing the alternating magnetic field to induce the secondary, NOT something from nothing only reusing a forgotten a by product of power distribution.
What do you think could more power be recovered and used by this approach or is time the men in black came to take me away HayHay!!!
