There is no spin in electric power meters

some electric power meters use an aluminum disc that rotates due to
the torque of crossed fields proportional to voltage and consumed

of money?!"
Dear Jos, the aluminium disc rotates because of the Lorentz force. It
is an orbital angular momentum. Spin tensor is zero inside an electric
power meter.

Not if the plane is electric. Trust me.
I own the patents on a new, lightweight litium
battery that will power a plane around the globe.
