So I am now imagining Tim Allen's souped-up vacuum
cleaner, with 50 Kilowatt (and outdoors) gas powered
generator (average
household electric supply varies from 20Kw to 40Kw), very

vacuum cleaner.... |

For those who don't know, in the USA a major maker of
household vacuum-cleaners, for flooring, is named

"to hoover" is a synonym for moving stuff via suction. |
