I want to use my computer/printer at fairs, but sometimes they dont have an elect outlet. So what is the device to convert battery voltage to use the computer??

Yes, a power inverter. Make sure to get one strong enough to poser whatever you're plugging into it. I've got a 450watt inverter and it works fine for running my laptop and external speakers. I've not tried adding a printer, but it should handle that too.

Build a 60 Hz Hartley Oscillator and pass that through a current driver. Don't forget to place a fuse on the input.

i use an inverter. you see i live in the woods off the grid. so i charge my batteries by generator or through solsr. I covert from dc to ac by using an inverter. the size you need depends how much watt you equipment uses.

Check eBay for low priced inverters. 300W should do.
