bender@oobleck.Eng.Sun.COM (I want to be eating rich soup in another town) (04/16/91)
->I'm basically an artist/software person..... Anyway I need some hardware ->help.... I have this thing....it could be anything... but in this case its a ->video receiver (normal use is like to watch movies on a tv in a different ->room than your vcr....its wirelss) anyway my problem is that it runs on ->AC... 9V... and i need it to be portable... So how can I make it run on ->DC... a battery of some sort.... Is this Possible??? -> Basiccally I got this thing that plugs into the wall and I want to plug it ->into a battery... since it runs on 9VAC (from one of those funky black wall plugs??) couldn't you just run 12VDC into it? The polarity shouldn't matter if there's a full-wave bridge inside the unit to rectify the AC that came from the wall adapter, and it probably has a regulator of some sort since the 9VAC would actually come out to be more than that DC after it gets rectified and filtered. You want to take this thing outside and run it and the TV on batteries, right? flav -- Won't look like rain, Won't look like snow, | DOD #000007 Won't look like fog, That's all we know! | AMA #511250 We just can't tell you anymore, We've never made oobleck before! | MSC #298726
