How's this for an idea?
Package up a couple of hundred D cells, in series, and wired via a 5 amp fuse to a kettle-type power lead. These can be sold to gullible punters to power their PCs (a switched-mode power supply will work just fine from 300 V DC). After all, anyone who believes that water from a plastic bottle is better, cleaner, purer and healthier than the stuff that comes out of the tap can be persuaded that electricity from a disposable battery is better, cleaner and purer and less harmful to the health of their electronic equipment than the stuff that comes out of the wall .....
