And steal electricity from the high voltage

When the boom in electric cars started, I thought it would be fun to charge an electric car directly from high-voltage lines. Apparently, I'm not the only one ...

If you are one of those who are somewhat nervous, throwing cleats on the battery of your “chord” after you left the lights on in the trunk (again), this military gadget will not be too much for you. It is called RAPS: the Remote Auxiliary Power System. The US Air Force wanted “something like Batman’s,” which would help them to “refill” their night-vision gadgets, GPS stations and players while they were on the field, and that’s what happened. When this thing is thrown on the power line, it closes with one part with “zero”, and cuts the insulation to get to the “phase”, passing current to the AC / DC converter. The device can be used in the rain and even under water. The video shows how this all works:

Wired comment:
No need to say once again that using this device will most likely lead you straight to the Darwin Award, but officially it is safe to use it even in the rain. But I still have one question: how to remove it later?
