I have been told of a similar situation involving a nice boxwood hedge,
except that the "electrician" was a few volts short of the spec - after
wiring the hedge he felt a need to test it operationally - as I understand
it, he spent some very uncomfortable time in the hospital and thereafter was
about half the man he used to be

Years ago a good friend kept a pretty nice AMX in his driveway. Had the
factory
chromed wheels. Neighbor cat (or dog?) frequented the left rear wheel on
a
nightly basis, prompting regular rust control by my friend.
So one evening said friend rolls out a short piece of screen wire flat
beside
the wheel, then attaches one leg of a 110V cord to the wire. The other leg
of
110 was clamped to the vehicle frame.
Later on, while listening to the 10:00 news, a single, very loud,
unearthly
yowl was heard. No more rust problems.
