1. A method of operating an electrical circuit, the method comprising the following steps:

  • a) providing a first electrical circuit electrically connectable to a power source, the first electrical circuit comprising at least an inductor, comprising;

    i) a first conductor;

    ii) a second conductor spaced apart from the first conductor, the first conductor and the second conductor being electrically conductive;

    iii) an insulator positioned in the space between the first conductor and the second conductor; and

    iv) at least one connector electrically connecting the first conductor and the second conductor;

    b) adjusting a power level of the power source;

    c) propagating an electrical current within at least the first conductor; and

    d) changing at least one of a frequency, a magnitude, or a waveform shape of the propagated electrical current such that a magnetic flux is generated within the inductor.
