Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: a power supply circuit for providing a DC voltage; an input conductor selectably connected to the power supply circuit, the input conductor extending along a plane; a switching mechanism coupled between the power supply circuit and the input conductor and configured to connect and disconnect the input conductor to the power supply circuit; a controller communicably coupled with the switching mechanism for controlling a connection state of the switching mechanism, wherein the controller is configured to control the switching mechanism, such that the power supply circuit provides a series of input voltage pulses to the input conductor, thereby creating a radial electric field extending from the input conductor; and an output circuit that at least partially resides in the plane and that extends away from the input conductor in the plane, the output circuit not being electrically connected to the input conductor, wherein the output circuit is configured to receive the radial electric field such that output voltage pules are induced in the output circuit.
