Are you simply trolling or something? What you propose is dangerous and
often illegal. This very same topic comes up on here every couple of
months, and the method you propose always gets smacked down. There is a
reason they don't sell double-male-ended cords. They don't wanna get
sued when a spouse, neighbor, or power company guy gets electrocuted.
Sure, you know what is going on. But what if you are injured, dead, or
out scavenging supplies?


It's not just that, it's putting the entire load of the house backward
through a 240V outlet, and expecting the wiring and the breaker to
handle the whole house current.
