I'm way at the end of this, but I'll add one more true-story mystery to see who can solve it -
While In the AF at a high tech facility I once held a multi-wire cable in my hands not coiled - with each end laying on the floor - and there was a voltage we measured across a couple of pins of the connectors on each end. What caused this?
Hint: I had to destroy this expensive taxpayer provided cable to solve it.

Since it's AC in the cord, the reverse current cancels out the centrifigal force with centripal force and net is zero. However, if neutral bleeds over to ground, then the power company starts sucking the reserve elecricity out of your components, whereas your toaster converts toast into fresh bread, coffee makers turn coffee into fresh water and your freezer makes hot water.

What difference in power have you noticed when a cord is rolled?

This circuit is known as a quasi-complimentary symmetery, chopped transient blanking astable multivibrator (with regenerative feedback) circuit.
