And they lose MORE when a rig like that is set up. Its been
done
before. First time i've heard of the ruling going that way.
>So the judge said its like recycling something that was lost.
The judge is wrong.
>The guy is not stealing power
He is.
>he is recovering power that the power company lost.
He is increasing their losses and everyother customer's bills.

He is.

They could if they tried hard enough.
(I suspect the power co appealed 7 THAT did not make the news.)
Such methods are nought to do with Tesla, per se, being 60 Hz
air coire transformers, pure and simple.
