Gomez,
Doesn't the "minus quite a bit of current " imply an UNKNOWN resistance?
That leaves us with an unknown resistor in the divider And an unknown
input voltage.
Has anyone tried and inductive method? If the field strength degrades in a
predictable way with distance can't we extrapolate what's at the source?
Something like an electric transit ( wow, what a weird analogy-time to go
to bed).
Good night
