AC flicker power strip hack

i would say yes, the neutral ties to ground back at the box so if you have a fault somewhere along the line with the ground the neutral can double as ground. also as a side note you should never switch neutral as hot to ground is still an active circuit so if someone didn't flip the breaker and just used the switch it would appear to be off but would still have a hot line and could injure them

Looks like this is a great hack, I'll have to try it for my pirate haunt this year (possibly driving some dock lights, grave digger lanterns, etc.) could be fun...
