How can such a small device -- a wrist watch -- receive suchlong-waveradio signals?
 

Main thing I getting at, is- the results
won't be good for effeciency, would they? :)

No, if they are trying to run too fast, the current output will
increase, and the paower plant's breakers will disconnect it from the
grid. If it slows down, it will draw current, and become a motor. The
only "meltdown" is the customer's. If too many generators go off line
there is a massive brown out, or blackout.

Explain how you would get a 1% speed change in a generator that is
already connected to the grid.
