Depending on the device you might be able to just get a socket converter plug, or you might need a voltage converter.
If you look on the device where the electric wire connects(or the power brick that plugs into the wall), there should be a label on it that says something along the lines of(I took this right off my laptops power brick):
Input: 100-240V ~ 1.7A 50-60Hz
Output: 18.5V - 3.5
For this case you can ignore the output listing, we are more interested in the fact that it says 100-240V input. This means that it will work with pretty much any wall outlet in the world as long as you get a socket converter to make it fit. These are pretty cheap, you can most likely get them online or at a Radioshack, hardware store, pharmacy, or somewhere with travel equipment.
If the label reads more like this you will need a voltage converter
Input: 220-240V ~ 1.7A 50-60Hz
Output: 18.5V - 3.5
Because this one says 220-240V it won't be able to suck enough voltage out of a regular socket here in the US without a voltage converter to make it possible. I don't know if you could get these at a Radioshack or a travel store, but you can definitely find them on the internet.

Far enough away that no one can accidentally reach them from the window. Electrical transmission wires should never be touched, but they need to be brought in to a fuse or breaker box, usually in the basement for single dwellings or some closet for apartments.
