Default Nutless wonder

In the old days the flux wasn't all that well controlled, and there
was plenty of power. The olman told me that the machine pulled
700 amps at 700 volts. This brought cranks and cams up to
quenching temperature in seconds, maybe sooner. After all.
49 kW can do that.


Uh... that's 490kW -- nearly half a megawatt.
