If each outlet is from a separate, isolated hydroelectric plant, this will
work.  If your power comes from a nuclear plant, however, it would mean
the end of the universe as we know it.




Seriously, I'd sell everything and buy 110V stuff after you move.
(P.S. -- Just in case someone would try it - don't wire two outlets in
series.  That is asking for trouble of the sparks and fire variety.)
