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

Design any cool electronics lately?
 
I'm doing power dummy loads that simulate impedances, but I can't
discuss that in detail.

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.

So long as it's in phase there should be no issues in doing this, I'd
imagine? Anyway, you can't discuss it for perfectly understandable
reasons, so I won't ask any stoopid questions.
