what you propose is pointless. 'ground' is relative. without your
electrical service being 'grounded' to the same ground as the coathanger its
just a floating ground. same as if you just used a pair of snippers and cut
the third prong off the plug.

The electrical wiring in my house is not grounded, although all the
outlets are three prong. I have a lot of equipment like air conditioners,
fax machines, printers, computers, routers, etc. What would be the easiest
way to ground one or two of my outlets?

Can I string a wire over the grounding prong on the surge protector plug
and then run the wire out of my windows to the ground and then impale the
ground with a coat hanger attached to the wire?

Or can I just wrap the wire around the painted radiator pipe which runs to
the upstairs tenant's radiator? This is close to the outlets.

Thanks!
