When you've got a square peg and a round hole, it's not the time to go 
looking for a hammer.

One of two things will occur:

* Your 2.2A drawing laptop will melt your 500mA powersuppply,
   thus Releasing Smoke.
* Your 30V powersupply will cook something in your 16V demanding
   laptop, thus Releasing Smoke.
