I remember years ago someone was selling a "rabbit ears" TV antenna, but
this one was different in that it had a little plastic dish mounted
between the "ears". They bought full page ads promoting their "marketing
breakthrough" in television reception. No satellite subscription was
required! Truly amazing discovery!

Back on this device, power factor does not hurt the typical consumer since
they are not charged for apparent power. So, does a lightly loaded motor
have a higher power factor causing it to draw more apparent power and more
current (which we are not charged for) and ALSO increase I2R losses due to
the higher current than would be required for the same power with a lower
power factor? Is that how it works? How much of the losses in a typical
single phase induction motor are I2R?
