Max draw is between 1.5 and 1.8 amps at 5vdc, for 7.5-9watts.<br /><br />There's no way that 9W is enough to pop popcorn.

Fast chargers for devices that use USB may provide more (my iPhone and Clear hotspot chargers do), but computers are very limited in the current they provide to about 2.5 watts.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB<br />The Great and Powerful Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01379953300283048280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-40563193666675589232013-01-18T17:16:26.191-06:002013-01-18T17:16:26.191-06:00Those were 150watt heat bulbs?

That'd be drawing 30 amps each, if I remember my electrical circuit theory correctly.<br /><br />According to the USB battery charging specs, max draw through a USB port is 5 amps. 25 watts is a pretty decent heat output, though. Look at the Easy-bake ovens!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876828579688122237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-32381770614689953202013-01-18T12:09:14.208-06:002013-01-18T12:09:14.208-06:00A U.S. College student in action!
