Default Other uses for Electric Heli during pwr outage

I live in Western Massachusetts, been with electricity since Saturday afternoon [:@].
Needed a way to circulate heat from the gas-stove to the rest of the house. Found a fixed pitch head from Big-Lama, flipped it over, attached old 540 motor to shaft with silicone tubing & zip-ties. Clamp frame to door-jam, power blades with one cell (3.7v) of a 4cell 45c 5000mah Lipo & wha-la, one circulating fan .
Now if I could just figure out how to power the TV & fidge via lipo's & 400w inverter I'd be set.

T-minus 5-7 days before power, maybe.
