Mr Lippmann provides us with an erudite and convincing (to me, anyway)
rationale which leads one to view claims of free power via m-field
coupling with suspicion.  Fine.  Could someone, anyone, tell me why the
E-field couldn't be used instead?  Obviously the impedances would be
pretty amazingly high; but that's what #40 magnet wire's all about ;-)

By the way, I have _absolutely_ no idea as to the practicality of this
suggestion, either.

Summary: now, why does the coupling HAVE to be magnetic?? e-fields work too, nyet?
