Voltage Reducer 36v to 12v

Oh oh oh I know, I know. Pick Me... What about using really big diodes in the series cables to eliminate shorts?

That was good! Didn't you mean Really big Diodes.

Diodes as big as elephant dung balls

Cheaper than I originally thought, found a 100 amp one for $70, looks like this:

I wonder if 100a would hold? Why does it have 4 terminals?

I didn't research it much, the reason for 4 terminals, it's actually an AC diode.
Not much more to say here so I'm through with this project and was just having some fun.
Have a good one.
Good luck with the project Gale Hawkins.

Thanks Doug for your help. The two batteries on the back is sounding more doable. One plan given had six cut off switches but the right ones had to be off or on at the right time or the "big bang" would be recreated.

I have learned a lot already. These 'visions' seem so simple in my head I guess because my head is so simple.

I think your on the right track now Gale Hawkins. If you can keep it simple and safe everyone wins and learns at the same time.
