A car cigarette lighter, if it's on a 20A fuse, can provide 240w. I'm amazed someone managed to burn pancakes with so little power.
Assuming this happened.

I actually used to do something similar with my radio equipment. A bit much for the cigarette lighter (usually rated at 10a not 20). So I just parked the car, set up the aerial and wires straight to battery.
26 0 ReplyWiring everything straight to the battery is a classical move for amateur auto electricians, I've done similar myself.

I've heard of truckers cooking meatloaf with a lighter plug, but it took hours and was well insulated. I'm calling BS on this one.

5 0 ReplyWell, it can go up to 15 volts and provide 300 watts. So there is that.

After googling i found numbers like 1200 to 2400 watts being produced by a car alternator. Just bridge the fuse and you can make pancakes in your car happy and without worries.
5 0 ReplyYour typical car is at the lower end, and don't forget the vehicle itself uses power, quite a bit of it in fact.
2kw would be commercial vehicles, four wheel drives etc that have a lot of accessories, dual battery systems etc.

That is like the least obviously made up part. 😂
Most physically impossible, though.

Wow, that car is pimped out with the best cooking equipment and even a milkshake maker!
He should have stopped and finished cooking before driving again. Shame shame, wasting good food as well!

So did the cop pull him out and shoot him in self defense for burning the pancakes or just shoot him because that is what cops do.

The pancakes were so burnt the cop shot them.
19 0 ReplyIDK, driving while making pancakes sounds a lot like something a stoner would do.
It doesn't discount the fact that the driver might be high. I'm just saying.
