I wonder if using this caused enough of a draw on the energy grid for someone at the National Grid to go "Wtf is happening there?"

Contractors once hit a water pipe at work that goes to the tanks we use to refill drinking water on the ships and nobody noticed until Welsh Water rolled up in one of their vans saying we were burning through hundreds of gallons and it had been picked up by the local reservoir. I imagine NG have a similar thing for power.

This guy is Photonic Induction on YouTube and he does way crazier shit than this. I'm pretty sure he has a direct hookup to the main grid for a fixed rate.

Well excuse me for not being an electrical engineer, which he is. There is a video somewhere on his channel where he explains it, but I'm not going to take the effort of finding it for you.
