Okay, calcs are done.

R = (15.2V - [15.2V*.75])/20A = .19 ohm

15.2V/24A -> 11.4V/18A @ 75% power (max efficiency point)

Setup would be like the pic below. Does anybody know of a reason this wouldn't work on the 15V/20A PSU I mentioned? It seems to be cut and dry, but it's been a long time since I've done this type of stuff. This forum seems to be full of engineer types or people so inclined ... lets wrap our head around this.
