How much power does it require to operate?

Standard USB, even on a low-end Dell will do. But calling that "operating" is a bit misleading. The fan spins but moves minimal air, it's basically a CPU fan on a stick

No clear answer to this question. Wattage of fan is not stated, on either the device or the label. Fan is USB powered, but since speed is variable, and the fan can also serve as a USB hub, power consumption could really vary, depending on what else is connected to the fan.

The fan only needs to be plugged in to a USB to run at full speed. In order to use the USB plugs at the base of the fan you have to buy additional power adapter.

It is powered off the USB bus. I use an adapter plugged into 110 volts to insure constant adequate power (because some USBs have more power than others).

this is a great unit it runs at about 1100 watts continiously.it will do more . but make sure you have proper batteries and cables.

Hi Gerri. Operational power consumption is 28 watts. Sleep/ standby isn't available but I'd guess it to be 2-3. It's EnergyStar 5.0 qualified. Hope this helps!

Ideally would be 24 watts, without considering conversion losses etc. Being a switching supply, it should be close to the that (basic formula is P=I*E, P is power, I is current, E is volts).

Require power source of 12v DC. Could run on a 12v rechargeable battery pack not sure how long depends on battery pack.

No power is needed for this unit. You only need a water hose to hook up to..

Good news, it doesn't require any extra power. Bad news, since it doesn't require extra power, don't expect too much performence from it.

Bill, I cannot answer this. How much power does it draw? How long does it need to power it before you would consider it viable? Sorry.

This model requires two usb connections. One for power and the other for data transfer. So it's probably around 500mA.

Seems to have plenty of power. If you are talking about continuous operation day after day, I'm not sure.

It doesn't require power, so long as your input device provides power. Which assuming it's a TV, 99% of them do, the DC power unit can be found pretty much anywhere, just make sure you get the right wattage/voltage.

I'm not sure what the actual power usage is, but I'm sure it's minimal. As for your second question, any object or device subjected to an unstable climate with temperature swings as wide as 38-100 will be adversely affected. Why would you want to subject a finely calibrated electronic instrument such as this to that sort of abuse?

it will operate without power, as long as the device has a power adapter of its own. so mostly, it does require power. my machine still sleeps, but it will disconnect the device abruptly, meaning possible data loss.

Not sure exactly... but I didn't need to get any additional power supply to make it work... just plugged it in.. and had been working great since purchase.

it does not need electricity, it is gas. if it has an optional fan it will need 110v. fan is not necessary for normal operation.

Around 2 hours, the actual operation time will depend on how much electricity is required by the device and how you use it.

Power requirement for Breeze Mobile is 5V/200mA. It take very little power to drive the motor.
