So, a 12V generator, car battery and an inverter is a "dangerous transformer
assembly" and clearly illegal. I must remember that, since I have one in my
car.


He rather recklessly has not appeared in court:

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a man accused of
"recklessly producing household electricity" in a 14th storey Dundee
flat.

Charles McKenzie was due to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court over claims
he had assembled a DIY power station.

Sheriff Eric Brown granted a warrant for his arrest after he failed to
appear at court.

The 55-year-old had earlier pleaded not guilty to a charge of culpable
and reckless conduct.

Well at least he didn't kill anybody, unlike the poor bugger who survived
being gassed on his boat in the lakes.
