Can you run a 185v 3.5 amp motor from a 12v system?

Can you run a 185v 3.5 amp motor from a 12v system?
You can run 185 volts from a 12 volt battery at 3.5 amp motor. Amps are your current. Most things today are run on milliamps. 3.5 amps is hot except for the car starter. You need 150 and up for these in amps. If your starter is dragging it takes more current and robs the battery and engine of much needed juice. You increase your amps by using high voltage rectifiers and by adding coil windings around an iron core to to boost current. These are called step up transformers. They are DC but can be inverted to ac. You run resistors and diodes to tune your voltage off of a transformer winding lead. Most batteries range from 55 amps to 85 amps and higher in modern day cars. The alternator, which is an actual motor can and does act to keep this battery charged while running lights, air, abs brakes, o2 sensors, injectors and so on and on. Try burning your headlights with engine off for 15 minutes and then start the car.
