The gas bars, does this happen to anyone else?

Thank you for all the

You need to stabilize it low, not high. A regulator doesn't bring the voltage up, it will just take a higher voltage and bring it to a lower stable voltage. The part you want is a simple LM7812 voltage regulator (radio shack usually stocks them). It is a 3 pin device with in, ground and out. Normally you would add two capacitors when using one, but in this case, because you are just regulating a supply that really doesn't need to be regulated you can skip the caps.
