Default Copy Chrome Power Requirments?

What sort of power source do I need to get this up and running? (newbie - sorry)

You state 2-6v @15sq." of surface per amp.

Any recomendations? I have no idea what to look for. If you could provide names, retailers, anything I'd very much appreciate the help.

Thanks

A 6V or 12V battery will suffice.

If you want a more robust solution, with built in power control, get a rectifier. http://www.caswellplating.com/rect.htm
