When I was a kid (about 11 and making the "change over"), I hooked a
neon oscillator to an rf-step-xfrmr with a full wave bridge "detector",
to a VERY long wire antenna (very well insulated by egg insulators) and
it would pulse (flash) the neon bulb every so often ... gave me big kick
at the time ...

However, I don't think it would have powered a "fly-power-anything!" ...
well, other than a single transistor "radio" which got its' power from
the same ... but then, you probably built one from the plans which were
around back then ...
