I do not need a primer from a dope that doesn't even know how
generators were driven.

Watts are Amps multiplied by Volts. Without changing the operating voltage the
only way to get more power out is to increase the current.
That's one reason trucks use 24V instead of 12V ( nominal ).

And why cars now run 12 instad of 6 volts.
