Extremely cool! Could I get the design for the car power inverter but in a 16, or 15V version? O.K., I'll come clean. What I would really like is the same basic design, but with a variable voltage control. Say, from 7.5 VDC to 16 VDC. I'm willing (and actually want to) build it and do some (or all) of the design myself, but I do need some help to get started. If I am asking too much, I understand, but I would like to see the design of your auto power supply at the very least.
