I guess everybody remembers the old trick of how to make a
high power zener, right? You take a high power npn transistor
and connect a low power zener from collector to base, with
the banded end at the collector. The collector then becomes
the "zener cathode" and the emitter the "anode." Heat sink the
transistor of course.
