Title
Magsafe 1 powered By USB C Universal Adapter Method
Introduction
Using an old MacBook Pro 2012 Unibody as my main computer, I got tired of logging around the 80W power supply. I wondered, “how I could lighten my carrying bundle (computer and power supply). As my company's computer and many PC (at least in Europe) have USB C male outputs I wondered if USB C to Magsafe 1 cable existed. Online, I found a cable that can be sold as a spare part to a USB C Magsafe 1 power supply (see guide parts). On its own, the USB C to Magsafe 1 (20-25 USD/Eur) works well with USB C docking stations found at work. This was already a good start. Unfortunately, it does not appear work with Ipad Pro (or iphone) wall sockets.
Then, I also purchased a female to female USB C adapter (10 USD/EUR). This allows me to conduct power from: (1) the USB C-Magsafe 1 cable to  (2) the commonly found PC USB C Power supplied.
Now when I know my travel destination (work or friends house) will have USB C strong power supplied I carry only this USB C to Magsafe 1 cable + female female adaptor. I no longer need to carry around the heavier 80W; that stays at home.
I have read that USB-C has a direction to the power so you may have to try all direction of the female to female converter. Additionally, I would do this test while working on the computer so you can trust is works well for an overnight charge. I have only used this 2-3 times now so don't have any guarantee on the long run. I will report back here in a few months.

Conclusion
If you don't want to buy or carry around the 85W Macbook Power Adaptor but prefer to have something more modern and lightweight, you may want to give this technique a try. For the time being I have only tested with USB C docking station and 65W Lenovo power supply. Also in my opinion this method has not passed the test of time. I will report back in a few months when I feel more confident. I though I would put this here for those too eager to wait and looking for what I was looking for.
