Hi !
I'm looking for a backup solution while traveling and I was wondering if some of the NUCs can be powered by the Thunderbolt 3 port ?
Thanks !

Actually none, but I'm planning to buy one if they can be powered by USB or Thunderbolt.

No idea, as some have Thunderbolt 3 I thought I could use the Apple USB-C 87W power adapter .

Here are a list of nucs and product specifications.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005545/mini-pcs.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005545/mini-pcs.html
This is but one example - Look on page 52 here: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/mini-pcs/nuc-kits/NUC8i7HVK_TechProdSpec.p... https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/mini-pcs/nuc-kits/NUC8i7HVK_TechProdSpec.p...
Here is another: Look on page 55: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/boardsandkits/NUC7i5BN_NUC7i7BN_TechProdSp... https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/boardsandkits/NUC7i5BN_NUC7i7BN_TechProdSp...
As you can see, the voltage and amps vary.
Regarding your apple usb-c charger, this is what I can find:
Input: 100-240V~1.5A 50-60Hz
Output: 20.2V==4.3A or 9V==3A (USB PO) or 5.2V==2.4A
So, it does not provide adequate power, not to mention rigging a proper power connector.
Personally, I would abandon this effort. If you have to carry a power brick, carry the brick that came with the nuc.

Al, doesn't matter which one, this is not something that's supported on any NUCs at present.

Stating that slightly better,
- The NUC products do not have support for being powered via the USB-C connector. That is, they do not have support for the (USB-C-based) "Universal Charging Port" specification.
- The NUC products do not have support for powering devices requiring more than 15W. That is, they do not support the (optional) USB-C Power Delivery 2.0 Specification.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C USB-C - Wikipedia for more information.
