Schematics for Voltage Convertor

[Chris]

HI,

Does anyone here has a schematic for a voltage convertor/adapter hat
allows household items such as a Video Camera / laptop to be powered
by your vehicle cigarette lighter?

Probably the most time efficeint method is to BUY a small inverter, (Car to

AC)
and use the chargers for the "household items".
Building DC to DC inverters is a hassle and involves knowing the load(s).

OfficeMax had a 100 watt 12V DC -> 110V AC unit for $10 a couple of weeks ago.
