220 volts is made with TWO 110 volt circuits that are 180 DEGREES OUT OF PHASE WITH EACH OTHER!!!

For this reason I doubt that device you mention would work unless the two 110 volt lines you selected just happened to be out of phase or the device somehow acted as a phase inverter and inverted one of the 110 volt lines.

To understand 220 volt current in the USA, do some studying about how it is accomplished. Its is actually very simple once you understand it.
