What is the best way to convert this to AC? Or more specifically, what do I need to plug this into a wall outlet?

These fans are 12/24 DC, so you will need an AC-to-DC transformer between them and the AC outlet. The good news about this, however, is that the AC current draw will be VERY low.

Look at using old cell phone chargers. I found a used one on eBay for about nine bucks that matched the voltage and amperage exactly. It costs me $3.50 annually to run this fan 24/7 and it rocks.

You need a 12VDC power supply - could be a wall-wart you might already have, or some other power supply. I found an inexpensive 12V power supply on Amazon that I used in my project that powered the fan, as well as some other circuitry (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FH54L6/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1). Then you need to wire the fan to the supply - either solder the wires, use terminals or wire nuts, etc.

As far as I know you would just need an outlet adapter. I've read that'll be all you need. Hope that helps!

Plugs in to regular outlet. It was great last summer. Colded the entire back of our apartment. I hadn't expected it to work so good. Absolutely no complaints and believe me if there were a complaint I'd voice it because I'm a complainer.

This have an input of either 220V or 110V. Depending on where you are at... You have to get the right connection for it to plug in to the wall outlet.

it just plugs into the standard wall outlet. I works well. No problems with the unit at all.

YES you can plug it into any AC wall outlet. In fact I have not yet put any batteries into it, I always run it on AC power.

Yes, it does require AC power. It comes with a power adapter to plug into the wall. Very simple unit and does exactly what it sets out to do. I recommend.

I originally used the AC receptacle in the back of the cable box. Since the fan plug / interface to USB are completely different, I might check with one of the bigger electronic stores, Radio Shack types. Also be aware of current needs: i.e. 120v versus anything else. I don't know what voltage comes out of USB (enough to run the fan???). Hope this helps.

Very easy On the side there is a micro USB insert. Using a standard Micro USB cord you can plug the USB side into a computer USB port and charge from computer or into an AC USB plug and plug into the wall. Either way it is very easy to do. Best of luck and post any other questions and I would love to help if I can.

This would not work for you. It plugs in to a normal 110 house outlet and then converts to 12 volt dc current.

just in an electrical outlet. But I have bought mine to use just as you want. Just look for one 12v to 110V inverter. Choose one with 75W or higher and be happy!

It's AC power only, in other words, you need to plug in to the wall socket.

Plugged it into a regular wall outlet, which has other equipment on it, ie lights, fan and it has not been an issue. I use 20 amp breakers.

Just plug it into the wall. The worst part is actually getting the antenna outside, it will work by a window but once it's up it works great. No monthly fees, just need a 110 outlet. I've got 3 of them one in house, shop and another building

No. this unit needs to be connected to a battery. to connect to an outlet you would need an inverter to convert from ac to dc

There should be an AC adapter in the package. If not you need to contact the seller.

Buy a dc to ac converter ( for the car outlet) and let us all know how it worked.
