  • In this video I do a little experiment, I wanted to do this for a while and also had a suggestion to do this too. Of course this is working with electricity so don't do it and it dangerous and other warnings. What I want to do is use a car accessory like a air compressor or anything that uses a car's cigarette lighter and make it work indoors with a normal wall outlet.
    Here is the device but its 2 amps too: amzn.to/2JIpOLU
    Here is 12v car charger: amzn.to/2O7MQBC

    My search was," Easiest way to plug car socket into normal socket" and it was because I am going to buy an automatic tyre inflator. Your video was the 3rd result, it was meant to be. Also in my country where everything is 220V. A car battery supplies 12-16v and 10 amps. I have a Chinese bluetooth fm transmitter which tells me this information in real time(which is useless unless used specifically for an example as this one). Good video

    If you could setup some basic social media accounts, and share your videos every time you upload new ones, you'll get more coverage! You have an easy-to-hear voice (no homo), and you seem pretty comfortable talking by yourself to the camera, maybe you've done it before.
    Keep it up! Looking forward to seeing you at 500k subs by next year!

    You can build a cigar socket to 5mm barrel connector adapter for about $3 at your local electronics parts store, then you wouldn't have to destroy two devices. Also, you need to make sure your power supply can handle the draw of the compressor, usually it's at least 10 amps.

    The wires aren't "positive" and "negative". The wire with the solid line is the "power" wire. The wire with the dotted or striped markings is the "ground" or "neutral" wire. Those spring connectors on the sides of the barrel jack are effectively both ground or neutral. It would be much safer and easier to directly wire the adapter and compressor cables together. If you leave enough wire from the ends of both cables, they can also be easily spliced back together and be used as normal again.

  • @camaroiowaguy23

    it would have helped if you read the output on the wall adapter and looked on the compressor device for the input power. if you cant find one, google the device online for its info. being since the compressor cig plug is 12v as is.. id assume you would want 12v wall socket adapter...

    You may need an ac/dc converter. Wall outlets are ac so my guess is that the pump is "sputtering" because of the alternating current.

      No, because the plugin for the air compressor or any other cigarette lighter plugin contains items to help prevent a fuse from blowing, and if it does blow a fuse, it won't blow the car or house fuse, it would blow a tiny very cheap fuse inside of that plugin.

    Thanks for the idea, I will check to make one because air compressors are noisy as F and my car can't get parked inside my property so basically it will be annoying for my neighbors.
    To make it pretty I would suggest finding the correct adaptor and then cut off both cable and add some small connectors so you can switch between the adaptor and the 12v accessory by plugging the desired end, cleaner and more convenient.

      To be fair the white lines are only on the insulation, and the insulation does not have polarity in this circuit. Testing the conductor is always the best way.

    Its at least 3amps up to 5. Just make a quick inverter from 12v to 120v and replace that with a regular home plug. Find space to mount inside so you only have one cable to plug into the wall. Nerd:)

    If you need more than 10 watts, you need a power supply that takes 110/220 V from the wall and outputs 12 V DC. It's a rectangle metal box with electric components inside.
    Be very careful with the high voltage compartment obviously.
    You can use a "female car cigarette lighter socket" or simply cut off the end and reveal the two cables of your car accessory. Then carefully insert the + and - to output of your power supply. Keep that in mind, DC devices WILL NOT WORK if polarity is wrong. I mean + needs to connect + and - to -. Otherwise you may (will) harm the device and power supply.
    Also wattage calculation is really simple. Voltage × Amperage = Wattage
    For example 12 Volts 10 Amps means that you need 120 watts to run the device properly. Although 10V 12A is also 120W, there's no guarantee that the device will work properly since it's not designed that way. Even if it works at a different Voltage, it may be harmful in the long term.

  • @dannyburns8909

Instead you have to buy a novelty pump AC/DC portable ones for triple the costs. Good business strategy. Ripping people off, as usual. Are we not used for this tactic for decades now.
