One of my guys is the opposite, hates mayo and loves cilantro. He

I'm doing power dummy loads that simulate impedances, but I can't

Shame. Sounds interesting.

What's embarassing is that I discovered the circuit by accident,
fiddling in Spice, and I still don't really understand it.

I guess, as an engineer, I don't have to understand it, I just have to
make it work.

There are lots of companies who make R+L load boxes by switching real
resistors and inductors with relays. Most are forklift portable. The
really big ones dump the incoming power back into the AC line somehow.
