Electricity doesn&#x27;t work that way. To a first approximation, shorting something out actually uses <i>no</i> power, as there is no resistance&#x2F;voltage drop. In reality, there is <i>some</i> resistance  which takes the energy, and thus dissipates heat (in the scenario you&#x27;re envisioning, likely the wires for a short time). Dissipating that heat is going to be your problem to overcome.
