You need to elaborate more. Does the thing move with electric motors? If so, how are they powered and how is the switch back on process? Etc.

So far, your description of the solution just doesn't solve the problem.



A literal man doesn’t need to go and flip a switch in person to disconnect transformers from the grid. As to how they power such a device it was never with transformer level voltage so who cares it’s tangential

I never said it did.

You do understand the notion of a huge ass sun-burp sized oscillating magnetic field driving a conductor to surge, right?

Also, you are suggesting a software kill-switch to the entire electrical grid, with no obvious way to turn it on back again, in the age of cyberwarfare.

I'm not a specialist, but I don't need to be one to know you're vibe electrical engineering instead of speaking from a place of experience.
