How do you get a 110V outlet in a car?
You will need to purchase a power inverter. An inverter changes direct current, like what is in your car, to alternating current, like in a home. You will need to know the wattage of the item you are powering in order to buy the correct sized invertor.
Example is my inverter from batteries and my genertor both supplying 110v in to by breaker panel if I forget to turn one off then the panel is fed twice with 110v what would happen?
If they are in phase and have same amplitude you should be okay. I expect this is not the case given your description so you would likely get a distorted waveform.

I need To connect a compressor to a car battery for a project and the compressor requires 110 volts 8 amps is that possible in anyway?
It is possible in theory. Your car battery produces 12v DC. Your compressor requires 110v AC. You can use an inverter to convert your 12v DC into 110v AC. But the real question is how long will your battery last? Does the battery even have sufficient stored energy to start up the compressor in the 1st place? A draw of 8 amps at 110v is a lot...
Why doesn't my 110v Wahl hair clippers work correctly when plugged into a power converter converting 220 v to 110 the screw on the side has no effect?
The internal working of the motor is designed for 110V/60Hz. Your stepdown converter is from 220V/50Hz to 110V/50Hz. Frequency converters from 50Hz to 60Hz are very expensive (many times the cost of a new clipper). Therefore it is better you get a clipper designed for 220V/50Hz. If you still like to put your clipper to use, then the most cost effective solution would be to get a "car inverter" that would convert 12V DC to 110V/60Hz AC.
Will hooking up a power inverter to an electric scooter charger blow out the controller?
Well, that all depends on the voltage of both the inverter and the charger. As long as the output of the inverter is the same voltage as the input on the charger, you should be fine. Example: Normal scooter charger is 110 volts. Inverter is a 12V DC to 110V AC inverter. (the type used to watch a household TV while in a car) and your scooter charger normally plugs into a wall socket in your house, this will work fine. If the inverter you have is one that turns 110V AC to 12V DC, then you will have a problem.

What causes a 220v wire to pull only 110v?
The fact that it's supposed to. Voltage is stated as the difference between the two wires carrying electricity to the load. When they bring power to the house from the utility, you get two wires carrying 110v but they're 180 degrees out of phase. Imagine one carries positive 110v and the other carries negative 110v. If you hook one of these wires plus a neutral (zero volts) to the load, you get 110v--110v over 0v. If you hook both of them to the load, you get positive 110v over negative 110v, or 220v. So...red to white is 110v, black to white is 110v, red to black is 220v.
How is 220v water heater rewired to 110v?
Use a transformer to lower from 220 to 110V.
I want to inflate an AeroBed mattress with built-in pump when camping. Is there anyway to get 110V 60Hz power from a car lighter?
Yes, there are inverters that plug into the cigarette lighter socket that have outputs of 120 volts. To estimate the size of the inverter you will need, find the wattage of the pump. If there is no wattage stated on the label, multiply the amperage stated by 120 volts for an answer in watts. Amps x Volts = Watts. You should obtain an inverter with a wattage slightly higher that you need, for the air pump.
Can you replace the 240v plug on my 240v mitre saw with a 110v plug and run it off a 110v transformer?
Changing the plug will not change the power needed to run the saw. If the saw has a dual voltage motor then a wiring change can be done to switch the saw from 240 to 110 volts. If it is not a dual voltage system then the saw must be fed with 220 volts.
Are there any electric outlets in an SUV to run a 110V equipment in it?
Some SUVs may have electical outlets. Almost any vehicle can have a DC/AC power inverter installed to run AC powered devices. Make sure the output is enough for what you want to run, and follow the manufacturers instructions when installing.
What is the ac voltage in America?
110v
