Hi, I since I like "low power" I frequently use resistor in MOhm range. Mains hum often causes problems for me. Now I got an idea how to "strike back"and use it for good cause - I would like to use it as a clock source (I also thought about using it as power source but I doubt I could get enough po…

Mains hum as clock source

Hi,

allanhurst:
And indeed a lot of Europe. We have undersea power lines across the channel to use France's large nuclear power sources from time to time. It's all phase-locked through the Europe-wide grid system.

We have an under sea power link between Victoria and Tasmania and it is a DC Bus, to prevent cable losses if AC is used.
