Power Inverter
If you don’t know what a power inverter is, let me take its brief moment and explain. Our vehicles electrical system is 12 volts DC power and our homes electrical system is 120 volts AC power. This is why you can’t easily plug things in your car that you normally plug in your home electrical outlets. A power inverter is a device that takes the 12 volt DC power from your vehicle and converts it into 120 volts AC power like that which is used in your home.
Power inverters are very handy little gadgets to have in your vehicles. You can buy very small power inverters or really big power inverters depending upon your needs. Large power inverters are capable of running power tools so if you need a lot of power, you should buy a large inverter.
One problem with power inverters has always been where do you put them? Many power inverters simply plug into the electrical outlet of your car but then where do you set them?
A few companies have come up with a clever solution to this problem by manufacturing a power inverter in the exact shape of a Starbucks coffee cup. What could be simpler? All you have to do is plug the end of the inverter into your cigarette lighter outlet, and place the nifty little power inverter in your vehicle’s the cup holder.
This way, the inverter is not in your way and you can easily power your standard household devices in your vehicle. Some common uses for power inverters are charging laptop computers, charging cell phones, charging video games, powering trouble lights, and more.
Now that manufacturers have come up with such an ingenious solution as to were to put the power inverter, they’ll just have to figure out a handy place to put your coffee now that the power inverter is taking up your coffee cup’s home.
