do they make this?

ok so i was wondering if there was any product currently being produced that fits this description

is there anything that can put batteries into and then plug something into that instead of the wall?

does that make sense?

For what purpose?

Powering pedals? If that's the case......http://www.lizardlegeffects.com/thebox.html

If you mean like a standard power plug, I do not know.

You can get gasoline powered generators...

that linky didnt really work

and im talking more along the lines of im in the middle of nowhere and i want to plug in a light(lets just say a lamp) that would usually have to be plugged into the wall

is there anyway i would be able to do that with batteries?

gasoline powered generator is a little too hardcore for me haha
i need something that i could like carry in the glove compartment of my car or a backpack or something

Cigarette lighter device that might spit out appropriate amounts of energy?

kinda like that
but you dont have to plug it into anything
it gets it power from like 9 volt batteries
im starting to think it doesnt exist

You can buy battery powered lamps. For you glove compartment, a flashlight is probably the best plan.

mulletman · 10-26-2008, 08:21 PM

Well, if you can find a way to turn 9V DC into 120V AC, then it's possible.

im talking about like a real lamp
like not a battery powered one
and im not talking about keeping the light in a glove compartment but the power source for it in case that wasnt clear

and also it doesnt have to be a light
there could be a number of things that i would want to power with it

Something like this? It doesn't use 9v batteries....

haha well i guess thats about as good as its going to get

I had something like this and I started using it with my HS band at football games. Mine could run a couple big amps for an entire football game... well worth it.

9V DC to 120V AC is doable, but the problem is the current capacity of a single 9V battery. From what I can find, it's ~100mA.

So, 100ma @ 9V = 900mW total power output. Assuming a perfect conversion to 120V, that would give you 7.5mA @ 120V.

You would need ~67 9V batteries connected in parallel to be able to power a normal 60W lightbulb by this method.

Yup. Simple physics prevents the existence of what you're asking.

Yep. I was unsure of the amperage part of the equation, but I figured the 9V's would be lacking.
