I want to power a nixie device from a car power socket - the things that 
used to house cigarette lighters. I figure I need to clean up the power, as 
well as source an adapter and probably a cable with a power plug on the 
end. I seem to have a few options:


   1. Use a 5V USB adapter
   2. Use a multi-voltage adapter like this one

   3. Build a power sanitizer from a resistor, diode and capacitor as 
   suggested in this post 
   <https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=287394.msg2013378#msg2013378> 
   on the arduino forums, and feed it to a 5V regulator.

Is the power provided to a modern car power port that dirty to start with? 
Would either of the adapters (1 and 2) likely provide clean power? Option 3 
appeals to the DIYer in me, but would end up being more expensive than the 
other two. OTH, I could eventually build it all into one enclosure if I end 
up going that far.

I guess another question is: Would the power provided to an ODB2 port be 
clean?
