USB-C can supply up to 100 watts of power at 20v and up to 5A current. At the moment, you can easily get your hands on 87 watt Apple charger which is a high quality and compact [1]. That's a huge amount of power. To put this into perspective, here are a few unsuspecting items that can be easily powered by Apple's charger (stuff around my apartment):

* A fairly capable soldering iron [2]

* Studio grade lighting [3]

* Prusa i3 3D printer [4]

* Emblaser Core Laser Cutter

Each of these devices come with their own power supply unit, most of which are bricks at least twice the size of the Apple's charger, while most likely of lower output signal quality (e.g. higher ripple). It'd be great if all that waste could be replaces with a USB-C port!

That's why I'm currently working on a PCB kit which can be programmed to require a certain voltage/current from an upstream USB-C power supply [7]. It can then be used as adapter for (or embedded inside) devices that don't have USB-C power input. I'm hoping to sell the kit in the future. I'll be getting rid of my power bricks one by one while making them more portable with things like high power car chargers [6].

I'm also working on an upstream USB-C power supply (as a kit) [8] that can take any input from 10-35v and provide up to 100 watt output (which is currently rare).
