Thanks for the hilarious entertainment bert!
I was dazzled by this inventors brilliance!
Not only did he find a way to defy the laws of the universe but he also managed to run brushed dc motors from an ac wall wart connected in reverse. How could he do such magic???
(I really really really hope a sarcasm tag isn’t necessary.)
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention he has a battery (DC power) inside the fake power strip.
