Title: I've got a mains inverter - what do I do with it?
Post by: pritch on February 19, 2005, 21:42:11: I picked up a mains inverter from Maplin the other day. Ã‚Â£20 for a 150W one; I use it for my laptop once in a while.

Most of the time though, it goes unused. So I'm wondering what else I can do to get my moneys worth from it.

I asked another internet site about this a while ago, their suggestions included:

A popcorn maker
A lava lamp
Scalextrix
Millions of xmas tree lights
Neon signs on both sides of the car saying "Let's get FUNKY"
A rotating Floella Benjamin

I'm currently tempted to go with the popcorn maker. I mean, what could be better in the middle of a greenlaning trip?

Any other suggestions?

You could use a full blown PC in there
A telly
Buy a 1000 W one and have a microwave oven for your pies
Playstation and a LCD screen
