Go to www.amazon.com and enter "inverter" in their search field. You should
see dozens of products that plug into an automobile lighter outlet and
convert 12V DC to 110V AC (some up to 700 W). I have one in my car for use
on long trips (e.g. to recharge camera batteries, etc.) Most under $50.

Be very careful what you plug into these things. They are not true sine
wave, and are unregulated, and WILL fry things like cordless tool battery
chargers. DAMHIKT.

Bull****. In your last post you didn't even know it could be done.


Which makes you a liar as well as a fjukkkwit

I don't know about the state of technology in the USA, but here in
Europe I've had a 220V inverter in my car 20 years ago, and it wasn't
exactly cutting edge technology then. Oh, and the artificial horizon I
have in my glider (yes, for cloud flying) runs on 3x115V 400Hz
three-phase AC, powered by the 12V battery pack.

The hilarious part of your post is that you think you're qualified to
comment about scientific and technologic research while you don't even
have the dimmest idea of such really basic stuff. As much as I detest
the posts of Bertie, he is right when he says that you don't have a clue.
