Make one REALLY big coil. Lesse, if one were to attempt resonance in
a LINEAR wire at 1Hz, you have a wavelength of 1 second, the wire
would need to be 1/4th the speed of light, and at 300,000 meters
per second, that means 75,000 meters of wire, or about 550 miles
worth, if my math is correct. Or one REALLY large diameter coil
form...
