I assume he actually did mean 12V/12A. There's a number of "travel" hair dryers on the market that plug into the cig lighter socket in your car. Often labeled "Hair Dryer/ Defroster":

I bet they suck if you actually try to use them as a hair dryer, but they should be perfect for an incubator, where a 1.5kW heater would be overkill. It's a good solution for a tiny heater + fan, and keeping line voltage out of the incubator is probably a good idea too.

That would be only 144 watts. That seems somewhat wimpy for a hair dryer. Are you sure that's not 120 volts? Most hair dryers use about 750 watts to 1500 watts. For an incubator, why not use some power resistors and a fan?
