You get it. Pushing AMPs is just a voltage significantly higher than the voltage required to jump a gap, or short a circuit, ect. Depending on your application. I like to think of it as a water slide, the source is the high end, the circuit is the slid, and the sink is the bottom of the slide and pushing AMPs is attaching a comic book villan's version of a pump big enough to drain all the water from the ocean.

    Nahh the "significantly higher voltage" comes only because your device having some form of protection preventing too much current flow. The most simple device would be a resistor and any change in voltage leads to a change in current. So yes you are pusing amps by changing voltage. Pulling amps is by changing resistance so that volt can push amps easier
