One thing: would it be possible to run 2 channels in parallel to double the wattage? I know that should work in theory, but I don't know how that might work with two separate and variable power sources.

Mosfet’s are better known to the general public for their use in car audio amplifier. They are used in the switching power supplies that mid and higher end amps use to step up the normal 12v voltage (in the U.S). I have seen this step up from as low as 25v to as high has 800v. The Mosfet itself does not step up the voltage instead it drive the coil that does. These mosfet’s are usually rated at 16v 40 amps, of course with out the part number used here we are not sure what the rating for these happen to be. Even then the mosfet manufacture rating is based on using a heat sink. You could easily adapt this unit to handle a higher power. I tell you what though I have a speed control on my fans and never use it. I however cannot stop using the compunurses.
