Okay, now I think I
Okay, now I think I understand what you're asking. It sometimes takes us old guys awhile to catch on. :-) You would have to know in advance what the load(Amperage) of the device is that you're going to power. Then it would be a matter of coming up with the resistor values. A simple way to do 12 down to 6 volts would be to use two resistors of equal value in seies. Then you would tap the junction netween the two resistors and place your item between there and ground. As I said above, you need to know the current draw because if you use to high a value of resistors you won't have enough current available; too low and things get hot.
