The voltage regulator in a car is a completely different thing -- it regulates the current energizing the field coils of the alternator, and only indirectly regulates _voltage_. Regulating 20 amps is a tall order. It can be done with lots of transistors in parallel, with small load-balancing resistors in series with each. -- ------------------------------------------------------- Michael A.
