I want to convert 12 volts DC to 29.5 volts DC by using a 400 watt power inverter will it work?

In short, no. There are ways to make the voltage rise, but inverting the power will not help you. If you don't care about the amount of Amps you have, the simplest way to raise the voltage would be to add resistance to the line. Volts and amps are linked by Ohm's law, which states that V=IR, where V is volts, I is current (in amps), and R is resistance in ohms. Therefore you can create a higher voltage at the cost of amperage by adding resistance to your line.

What size power inverter should you use for 7.4V tablet?
Your question only makes sense to me if you want to use the AC-powered charger that came with your tablet and somehow run it with DC because otherwise you wouldn't need an inverter. Normally you plug your AC-powered charger into the 117 volt 60 hertz AC power socket (in the USA, not in Europe or elsewhere abroad) at home or office or wherever. An "inverter" creates AC output power from DC input power. Say you're in your car. The "cigarette" lighter supplies nominally 12 volts DC, though it's more like 13.6 volts DC when the engine is running and powering the alternator. You can't power your tablet directly with that -- the voltage is too high. You could use the "12 volts" to power an inverter that produces 60 hertz, 117 volts AC and then plug your AC-powered tablet charger into that. Then all you need to know is how much AC power the inverter can provide. I've measured the power needed to charge my android (Vizio) tablet. The AC-powered charger needs about 10 watts of power. That's a very light load for an inverter, so I reckon just about any inverter should work.
If a laptop is powered by twelve volts will a 150 watt inverter work?
Maybe, or maybe not. Depends upon the wattage or amperage draw. At 120 volts and 150 watts, you can draw about 1.2 amps. Probably not enough for a newer laptop, but may power an older one fine. A 300 or 600 watt inverter can be bought on eBay for about 30 bucks.
How many watt DC to AC converter do you need to run a 6 amp power tool?
The formula for watts (or power) is Amps times voltage. Therefore with a 6 amp draw times 120 volts would be about 720 watts. A 1000 watt power inverter would do the job.
What is the power dissipated by a resistor that has 5 amps flowing through it with 120 volts applied?
The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).The power in a resistor (in watts) is simply the product of the current (in amperes) times the voltage (in volts).
Power inverter 12 volts-220 volts?
If you are looking for a power inverter then you are going to need to take a number of things into account. These power inverters are not all equal, and they will vary in price and functionality. This blog will look at how you can narrow down your search to the right power inverter for your needs.

How 12 volts from a battery converted to 240 volts?
You will need to purchase a power inverter. Click the link for one I found.
What type of power inverter is needed when travelling to Europe?
Considering the electricity that comes out of European wall outlets is 220 volts, you will need a step-down converter to convert the power to the 110 voltage that our standard devices normally run on.
How many amps can a 1000watt inverter handle will it run a 10amp power saw?
A 1,000 watt inverter giving 110 volts is rated at 9 amps.
Can you run 220 volt motor compressor a 380 volt supply using power inverter?
No 380 volts is too wide a spread to use a 220 volt motor on.
How do you convert 7620 volts to 240 volts?
By using a step down transformer.
Is there a converter that will turn car DC to use on microwave oven?
Yep. It is called an inverter to convert 12 volts to 110 volts AC. Get one that will supply the amp needed for the microwave.
What wattage of inverter would you need to power a 100-240volt 1.7 amp laptop?
At 100 volts, around 170 watts. At 240 volts, around half as much. So, I'd suggest a nice 200 watt inverter for the 120 volt model, but that seems to be an awful lot for your purposes. Are you sure that you're not reading the power output of the power adapter, as compared to the amperage it draws on A.C.? I seem to remember using my laptop in a truck with just a 40 watt inverter and it worked just fine.
What is an electrical power inverter?
The most usual type of electrical power inverter is an electronic device which converts a direct current supply - often at a low voltage such as 12 or 24 volts as is used in a vehicle - to a higher voltage alternating current such as 120 or 240 volts which can be used to supply power to a household electrical appliance. Inverters do what the name implies: they invert one type of power source to another type such as from DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current). In addition inverters can be used to convert a power source to a different level [VOLTAGE]. No matter what type is involved, because no inverter'e efficiency can ever be near to 100%, there will always be some loss of energy from the power that is supplied to the input to the power that is available at the output, but that is a small price to pay for the convenience of using an inverter.
What is the formula to convert amps to volts?
Amps and volts are two separate parts of power measurement and do not convert into each other. Multiplying amps times volts will give you the measurement of wattage.
How many amps do you need in a relay for a 2000 watt RMS 4000 peak power inverter?
Amps x volts equals watts...200 amps at 12 volts would be 2400 watts...add a few more because. the inverter efficiency is not 100 percent...
