I once did a series of 'natural' recordings around a coal fired power stati=
on. One of the sessions involved working on top of a 140,000Kv transformer.=
 There was no need to use a microphone, the whole reel of quarter-inch tape=
 we used in those days was completely striped with 50Hz hum(UK mains freque=
ncy) The recorder needed a thorough degaussing before proper service was re=
sumed.
