I'm curious how they are getting 110 volts for your outlets. I thought that was unattainable with current (sorry!) technology. 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. |

They are not true sine wave, and are unregulated, and WILL fry things like cordless tool battery chargers. DAMHIKT. -- Jim in NC |

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. |
