I was wondering if you were to use the em field caused by electricity flowing through a wire or coil to push a magnetic or object would you effect the flow of power in the line. Like if you were to wrap a one phase of transmission lines around a solenoid type device to use the em field to push a magnet, would you experience power lose, voltage drop or ? in the electrical flow through the line? Also i am licensed electrician but not a college educated electrical engineer, so my terminology may not be 100% on, but I believe this all falls in the realm of inductance. I was basically pondering whether it could be possible to use the power flowing in high voltage transmission lines to power a "charged train" through a tube powered by using the em fields from wrapping these power lines around a "tube" to cause a magnetic push through the tube. Similar to solenoid but on a much grander scale. I get many interesting ideas like this well doing the more mundane aspects of my job and figured it couldn't hurt to ask the pros, but please remember that i am not a engineer so complex formulas may answer the question but help me understand. thanks all happy holidays
