I was debating whether to accept MadCow's "power source", and I decided to. Although that is not a technical term, a voltage source always produces an influx of power in a circuit with a nonzero current. So,

Power Source - MadCow2357

If it comes to a tie between MadCow and another user, however, the other user will have a higher rank. This is my ruling.
