Yes, but the point is that you'd need to intentionally tamper with the mains to pull it off, i.e., it implies fraud, if I'm understanding the diode fudge, in light of the DC short to ground in the transformer. Put another way, is there any way to draw hidden current from the mains that does not entail tampering between the transformer and the mains? Earlier Duncan seemed to think that there was a way, but this particular approach does not appear to be an example. But perhaps I'm misunderstanding an important detail? Eric
