I got yelled at for asking about a circuit to have the voltage/polarity switching, it devolved quickly into commercial R&D cost from a geek project, maybe now would be a good time to inject the idea again. A guy could probably develope it with some voltage regulators and a piss ton of dip switches, but a controlled circuit would be much simpler in scope and size
