I would like to make a senor, for fun, such that if I point it at the electrical grid wires, on poles, 20ft in the air,, I will get a very strong signal, such that I know the senor is pointing right at the wire's. It would be really cool to stand outside and point a probe at the overhead wires, and have lights and beeping go off. Girls love that stuff |

In civilized hitech countries like central EU (not sure who else has such low hanging HV/EHV lines - that is just stupid), this is hardly possible, due to HV and EHV power lines being purposely way higher above the ground NOT to have any such EM fields below. |

Easy. Get a camera and train a categorizing neural network to identify wires, insulators, transformers, etc. All the usual distribution and switching gear. Or memorize them yourself. Girls like good memories too, don't they?... Tim |
