[Dixielandjazz] Unusual radio receivers (was: Xtal set - Why?)

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

There was a scam that went around for awhile and that was free energy from 
the air.  The device was basically a crystal set and the salesman told the 
farmers that they could get all the electricity they needed out of the air 
with a larger model.

A large induction coil close to power lines could theoretically produce some 
useful power but I'm sure the coil would have to be huge.  I'm pretty sure 
it's a case of urban myth that some guy was supposed to have tried it and 
was prosecuted for theft of services.

Anybody want to buy a huge crystal set?

Dear Phil

This reminds me of my pal who lived a stone's throw from the Droitwich long
wave (1500 metres) transmitting mast; this was a huge contraption situated
near the main road.
He could listen to the BBC Light Programme any time on the hot plates on his
cooker.

Regards

Bob Smith
