Re: [photo-3d] Converting a Fed Projector to 110v

[Ron Beck <rbeck@xxxxxxxx>]

Gabriel (and all),
Unfortunately, the 220VAC outlet for your stove (and electric dryer) is
really two 110VAC circuits with a common ground.  Your extension cord
would have to combine the two hot lines into a single prong in order to
provide a 220VAC power source.

Here in the states you can buy an adapter to convert european 220VAC to
110VAC.  Isn't there a european equivalent to step up 110 to 220? 
Theoretically, any AC transformer that steps down from 110VAC to 50VAC
should be able to provide 220VAC when 110VAC is fed to the 50VAC side. 
Just make sure it's an AC/AC transformer and not an AC/DC transformer

Regards,
Ron

P.S. Please check this information with another knowledgable source. 
I'm reciting from memory of my electrical engineering power class. 
However, I did flunk out of electrical engineering  so I may not be
remembering this quite right! :-)
