Here’s a "cup of coffee" that packs some real power!

Sure, it looks just like a big cup of coffee, but it’s actually the Coffee Cup Power Inverter. This handy little gadget coverts your car's DC power into two 120-volt AC outlets. Perfect for powering or charging TV's, DVD players, game consoles, cell phones, and other portable electronics. But don’t go nuts, it rated for up to 200 watts AC. But wait, there’s more!! This coffee cup also has a USB charging port providing 500mA of power. Charge any of your small portable devices – iPods, cell phone, etc. that charges via a standard USB cable. You supply the cable for your device, but it plugs into the USB port right on the Coffee Cup Power Inverter. The unique coffee cup shape fits nicely in today's auto/boat/truck cup holders, preventing it from moving around inside your vehicle. A slide switch on the side of the plug lets you adjust it plug so it fits tight in your 12-volt lighter port.  If the fit is too loose, slide the switch forward. When you first plug the unit in, a red LED will come on. In a few seconds, if everything is okay, it will turn green. There’s a fan inside to help cool the inverter, but I’m not sure how well it will work when the coffee cup design means it’s going to be in a more or less enclosed space. Maybe that’s why the little gizmo has low voltage; high voltage and output overload alarms and automatic shutdowns. Under $30 at our friends from Think Geek.
