Wow! All this time I thought Tesla's multiphase AC power system had
collapsing fields 120 times per second, not when I unplugged the shore

There's a huge difference timing here. The AC power system goes from maximum
voltage to 0 over a period of 8.3msec, which is slow compared to breaking
the circuit instantaneously.
