[time-nuts] Transformers

Not at all. I'm interested in HF too. And, I've spent months trying to
quiet switchers on spacecraft.

What I do have a lot of wrath for is lame-brained "ecco-activists" who are
totally ignorant of the principles of physics, chemistry, and EE and the
clueless politicians who don't know (or care) about the difference between
engineering reality and stinking manure.

The fact is that switchers can be made quiet. It costs a bit more, but
should be done.
