Hello,

short question:
Do you think it's possible to just plug in two 12V/800mA Power Supplies into a breadboard in order to double voltage and amper? Does this work at all?
Thing is that i want to drive a motor which needs 24V and I only have two 12V supplies here at the moment.

Thanks!

in order to double voltage and amper

No you only double the voltage by putting two supplies in series. Supplies in parallel are a lot more problematical but that would keep the voltage the same but double the current.

This is how to do it:-
