E = I R
Suppose R x100 means E x100 and I unchanged
W = E I
So W x100
Thus by merely raising the resistance, you can get arbitrarily more voltage E and power W from the source. With sufficiently high resistance, I can get millions of volts and millions of watts from a AAA battery.
Very cool, if it were true.
