8/26    On the higher-end models of the Toyota Matrix there's an 110V 100W AC
        outlet.  How is the AC power generated on a car?  I though converting
        DC to AC is hard.  Thanks.
        \_ do a google search on dc to ac inverters
                \_ inverters?
                   \_ yes, inverters.  was it really easier to post the
                      word "inverters?" on the motd than do the google
                      search?
                      \_ someone sohlud write /csua/bin/gg that either returns
                         the "I'm feeling lucky" result or the first 10
                         descriptions/urls (of a google response, of course).
        \_ dc->ac inverters are common.  You can buy them at frys for ~$20
           that plug into your cigarette lighter output.  Most auto parts
           stores have them too. -ERic

2/24    Does anyone use a solar panel to power their laptop? If so,
        what brand do you use/recommend? I use a G4 iBook in case
        that makes any difference. tia.
        \_ Is this for travel or home use?
           \_ Mostly for travel, so I could take it w/ me in my
              backpack.  It would be nice if I could stick it in

3/28    So I'm really confused about the DC to DC, car-to-laptop power adapter.
        How come most of them are "inverter" types, where you convert from
        DC to AC, and then AC to DC? Isn't that inefficient?
        \_ Using a resistor or transistor to do DC->DC also gives power loss.
           -not an EE.
        \_ It's easier to step up/down the voltage if the current is in the

12/27   Anyone have experience with voltage regulators? Ie, it will
        correct under and over voltage back to 120v? I am trying to
        find one... Thanks.
        \_ Yes, they will do that. Is there anything more specific
           you wanted to knwo?
           \_ What particular ones have you used? How well does it work?

9/11    Is it practical to have, say, a large portion of CA or AZ running
        on solar power? My coworker runs his entire household via solar
        and it got me to wondering what would happen if everyone did this.
        Obviously industrial plants need more power, but could we do away
        with a lot of our polluting plants if everyone went solar? If so,
        then why don't we? What are the technological obstacles, if any?

7/14    Do DC to AC power inverters cause any strain / damage to car batteries?
        Would the car battery wear out faster from continued use of the
        inverter?  Specifically, I'm looking at the Xantrex XPower 75 watt DC
        to AC inverter, available on http://buy.com at http://csua.org/u/3m8  If it
        does not damage the car battery or the device, is this a good price?
        \_ no, no, yes
