Mike,
I am sure you have done all the research on this but I happened to get a reference to this in an email the other day and thought it might be appropriate to share in this thread with you and everyone else.

Of note ... at about 3:25 we see the rather clever Gates Rubber couplers that he is using and at 4:19 it appears as though his power supply is providing about 18.6 volts and .86 amps ... obviously 100% dependent on the type of hot wire he is using.
Note also that I am not knocking his choice of couplers. (a) they seem to work in this application, (b) see -a-.
