Can I charge a 19V laptop from multiple USB ports?

My laptop’s charger is rated at 19V 2.1A. I was wondering if it would be possible to build an adapter which would allow me to charge it from a power bank, even if just slowly or via multiple USB ports.

I know you can buy adapters which utilise USB power delivery, but most outlets and powerbanks don’t have PD yet.

    If your powerbank has full power delivery support(it probably doesnt) then you can request voltages in 1/10v increments. This is very cool but you need a chip that communicates in your cable.
