/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1484264
They sell these line splitters for like $15. I took a crappy extension cord and stripped the outer jacket so I could seperate the wires and clamp aroound just one and that worked too for just playing around.

But yeah if you clamp around the whole cord, I guess you have current flowing different directions through each wire so it ends up as a net zero. I don’t understand it but that’s how it goes. Good luck,
