'Cuz they don't produce power, they only transform it.

Now, if I was to build a coil tuned to 60Hz, anywhere with 
power lines in the States (50Hz elsewhere), it would *receive* 
the power that the lines broadcast, much like a radio.

Of course, this is illegal and only produces a small amount
of power, but...it's got possibilities.  :-)
