I just realized I have no idea how electeicity works 💀
(Magic particles goes zzzzzzzap)
My understanding is not much better. It’s send electrons across wire.
It's not even that! The electrons don't even move particularly much. The energy is moved by the E/M field created around the circuit, which is even more wild and mind bending.

I'm sending this to my electrician friends.
No this one is safe. It's specifically designed to power geomantic devices, not electrical ones.
Instructions unclear, balls are tight and I can feel a 60Hz hum. When do I insert the neutral wire?
