How much power can a lighter supply?
I have a really small (200W) power inverter and a laptop I would like to run through my cigarette lighter. The laptop has a very low capacity battery and I need something to run my datalogit. My laptop power supply has a max output of 40W, figure in some losses because the inverter and the power supply are not perfect and you get maybe 60W max. Is the lighter going to be able to supply this?

C'mon, admit it. You're going to try one of those use-my-leafblower-as-a-supercharger projects, aren't you?
The fuse on my FD's cig lighter blew when I tried to use a portable electric airpump on it. Had to use my truck's lighter socket instead...
