This stuff works IF your breaker box allows it.
My house was built in 1970. Has several main breakers that get
fed to secondary breakers that feed the house outlets.
No way to get juice from the dryer outlet to the rest of the house
without backfeeding the grid.
Not code compliant today, but many homes exist with that configuration.

Make darn sure you don't lose the common. Can make a lot of smoke on
your 120V devices.

In the world of "less than perfect", sometimes
you make do with what you got. I sense that you're
a reasonably safe operator. Lets keep a good thought
that power cuts happen when you're home, not your
less skilled relatives.
