I give up.  Someone said this is a transformer, but that would step down
current while stepping up voltage.  Maybe the whole net is smarter than me,
but I haven't seen any net explanation of this one.  Nor has anyone questioned
whether this is possible.  I must be missing something.  Is the current flow
continuous?  Thank goodness I work in digital :-)
