Dryer Dreams, part 2: making the split extension cord

Getting the prototype to work with the kettle seemed straightforward. I was, however, concerned that the dryer would draw more current (and perhaps damage the split extension cord).

Searching for something that I now have forgotten took me to this link.

I ended up wiring a "split power cable". The colors represent the electric current (I wish I knew more about electricity terminology)? Red == hot, Black == ground, White == "not hot (?)"
