Easy way to make really obnoxious portable LED projects:
USB Battery for 5v power. Minimum 2A output.
USB to barrel jack adapter
Radio Remote Control - lots of options here
Extra connectors
ws2812b LED strips
Or you could just buy a cord like that instead of destroying your power adapter.
Occuli is the plural of Oculus, however the product is the Rift, so the plural would be Oculus Rifts :-p
Also, this is neato, but for the simplicity of it, I just bought myself one of these and I've never even taken the power adapter out of my devkit box: Startech 5v to usb
This should work

someone pointed me towards this cable rather than the hack and slash.

but it didn't try it yet
I bought a $7 USB power cable from Amazon. My power brick is put away in the case. No mods necessary. Plug and play.

You can put a laptop in a bag and go anywhere. Make sure your USB ports can actually supply the power needed.

A bit heavier cable, should stand up better if you are going to travel around with it, I have one of these but no rift to test yet.
I know some Oculus users have paired this cable with their rifts.
Considering some laptops have been known to last 4 hours+ running movies/gameplay you could probably just run a rift off of a laptop.
I would not recommend running it out of a backpack though, because computers need to breathe. Otherwise your computer will be toast before you can say "bacon and eggs".
I'm not sure why but I can't reply to other comments other than this one.
This reply is directed toward where you talk about usb powered oculus rift. I learned 2 ways to power it through usb which are really easy.

Mine runs off a USB port on my Mac mini.

I would start by getting the correct power to the bridge. Right now, you are given the bridge twice the wattage it needs (W= V * A), so I'm not sure if the bridge is fried or not. But, to start to see if it will connect, find the correct power cord, or buy a USB to Type M barrel cord, like this: https://www.amazon.com/USB-Type-Barrel-Power-Cable/dp/B003MQO96U/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1536135872&sr=8-4&keywords=usb+to+5v+dc+cable
and use an Apple charger to power it. If the bridge doesn't connect after given it the right amount of power, then using the wrong power cord may have killed it.
Instead of trying the hack and risking a non-functional Rift, I would buy one of these: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-USB2TYPEM-Barrel-Power-Cable/dp/B003MQO96U I heard that it works great.
brillient! thanks! :)
edit: so something like this I guess:
car charger
cable

If its 5 volts its 5 volts, doesn't matter where from. In case you're wondering, this cable exists. If its more than it wouldn't work. I know it comes with its own power supply, but that's an extra plug I have to worry about, which just adds to the mess of cables under my desk :(
ok, so I suppose I need to check my motherboard specs. I tried plugging it in with this thing: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-USB2TYPEM-Barrel-Power-Cable/dp/B003MQO96U/
and it appeared to turn on.
It's not the base adapter I need it's more like This but I'm not sure if that's the right one
