Does a clothes dryer generate enough heat to ignite a cigarette lighter?

No. The air in a dryer is around 90-170 degrees not hot enough to ignite a lighter. The Myth Busters actually did an episode about this where they ran a lighter through a dryer for an extended period of time. They also put a lighter in a toaster oven to find out what temperature it would explode at, it did not happen until it reached 350 degrees.

Does a clothes iron generate enough heat to activate heat-shrink tubing?
IT probably would but you would have to make direct contact which might cause the heat-shrink to shrink unevenly or get flattened. It is usually better to blow hot air at it while you rotate it. A good hair dryer might work equally well. ------ Neither a hair dryer, nor a clothes dryer will work for shrinking most conventional heat shrink tubing. The most common types: PVC and Polyolefin require temperatures of greater than 100C (the boiling point of water). A clothes iron will; however you'll melt the tubing with direct contact, and it will mess up your iron. If you don't own a heat gun, you'll be fine using a cigarette lighter.

How does the highest discharge of an electric eel compare with the voltage that comes out of a normal wall socket?
An electric eel can, in theory, generate burst of 1 Amp at 500 volts, which is more than enough to kill a human that is close enough. They only generate 300 microwatts on a continuous basis.
Can you plug your amp to a 12v cigarette plug?
No, the cigarette lighter fuse is not large enough to handle below nor is the wiring.
Can an inverter power a RV air conditioner?
Depends on the capabilities of the inverter. One you plug into the cigarette lighter won't be able to - anything with enough amperage to do this will be hard wired.

An inverter will work great for this and can plug into your cigarette lighter, although it may not have enough amps to run a gaming laptop.
What is a 12V auxiliary power outlets?
The 12V auxiliary power outlet used to be called a cigarette lighter with a covering device that could get hot enough to light a cigarette. Since smoking is no longer popular, the lighter was replaced with a plastic cover and it was renamed a "12V auxiliary power outlet".You can plug 12v devices into it for power such as search lights phone chargers etc
How do you found the cigarette lighter fuse box on 99 Lexus ES300?
Look behind the change compartment (that's the little door just above your left knee). Pop it out one side at a time, then refer to the diagram on the back of said door. If the fuse is not the issue, it's a very good chance that your lighter is plain old broken. I had the same problem with the cigarette lighter (powering a cell phone adaptor) but it was intermittent. I found out it wasn't not the fuse but the center mount post (the positive terminal) of the cigarette lighter itself was loosened I had just to be tightened. The tough part is accessing the lighter itself. I ended prying it out from the top, giving just enough access to get to the bolt underneath with a tiny pair of pliers.
What causes the cigarette lighter in a car to be able to light cigarettes but not supply voltage to accessories?
The actual lighter is just a coil of metal that is specifically designed to provide enough resistance to electricity that when it is passed through it heats up, similar to the design of an incandescent light bulb. It's not storing electricity it's just resisting it enough to cause it to heat up.
