   I can't think why the potential would drop?
   Think (approximation only) of two secondaries
   in parallel: current may go up, depending
   in primary capability.  Voltage stays the same?

   Should be the same resonance?

   for the 180 cause: the output to go to zero as
   the two secondaries cancel?
