Patent ID: 7563124

Claim:
A method for obtaining power from low-voltage, overhead power cables for recharging batteries and hand-held equipment comprising the steps of: throwing a weighted, elongated metal housing up and over a low-voltage power cable, said metal housing containing a cutout on said elongated side for seating a razor blade connected to a first N-gauge wire; grounding said metal housing by connecting a second N-gauge wire thereto which is connected to an aluminum metal ground stake; cutting insulation of said low voltage overhead power cable using said razor blade by pulling said first and second N-gauge wires and electrically connecting to a hot line of said power cable; providing constant tension to said elongated metal housing to maintain an electrical connection to said power cable hot line using said aluminum metal ground stake connected to said metal housing by said support cable; and supplying low voltage electrical power to charge batteries or equipment from said hot line of said power cable through said N-gauge wire connected to said razor blade in said metal housing.
