Of course. But not a "ground loop," but instead it would have to be a nearby radio transmitter. If Ron's coils happen to be in resonance with a fairly strong radio signal, then they can light some LEDs or even run small motors. That's why I suggested that he move the whole device somewhere far away and see if it stops working. Small resonant coil-antennas behave as if they were extremely large, like long-wire antennas. But any unknown transmitter that's supplying the power would have to be fairly close and not miles away. (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.
