The Gumball trees aren’t so bad. What you really have to watch out for are the jaw breaker trees. Those things can hurt. I know Mr. Duckman26 was going somewhere with the gumball thing, hopefully he will clarify for us.
Check your dryer. Most of those, as well as arc welders, run off of 220 volt power. Standard household plugs are half that, 110 to 120 volts. Clothes dryers have larger plugs to fit the larger outlets. (USA anyway. If outside of the USA, not sure how things work there.)
