Recently there was a power blackout where I live. I
started up my gas
generator (5500 watts) and used high quality extension cords to hook up the
TV, satellite reciever, and refidgerator, and some lights. My neighbor had
a tiny generator (800 watts) he knew nothing about. I helped him get his
going and told him to get a good extension cord, I plugged it in and handed
him the other end and told him to use that for power. He pointed out that
the cord had a female socket and asked how to plug it into the house wiring
to power the whole house :)
Were you later able to read by the glow from the remains of his house?
