It's the best part of 2 miles! I think the voltage drop would be excessive.
You have to get the electricity supply so invoved. Then you have to be a
very big lot richer beforehand.


During the three day week my school decided to show films during cuts.
They could do this because they could feed a very long cable from a
building which happened to be in the next-door block and on a different
schedule for cuts. Voltage drop addressed by a simple variable
transformer which fed the projector with an adequate voltage.
