[QUOTE="Stalin-ohaulic, post: 6293632, member: 585517"] To the bolded portion of the quoted text, NO you were not correct. The wattage will stay constant. at 14v drawing 200 amps you would indeed have 2800 watts assuming 100% efficiency. You would likewise have 2800 watts when you "step up" to 18.5v because when you step up with transformers it uses the 14v drawing 200 amps to make the 18.5 volts. So if the device were 100% efficient, you would still be able to make 2800 watts, drawing 151.4 amps of current instead of your 200. The FluxCap would still be drawing 200 amps of current to put this out and it would be taking approximately 5% of your efficiency while doing it resulting in 2660w of total output. If it put out any more than that, it would be magically making power. In my humble opinion, it would only be good for charging some 16v batteries and only then if you were to have a circuit that would adjust the voltage bases on current draw like a battery charger does. Otherwise, you will blow these bad boys up quickly. You would have to compete with the engine off and deplete the batteries. Then shut the stereo down and start the engine and recharge the batts.
