Yet another power supply question

Hi group,
While the subject of power supplies is floating around right now and
I will be working on one soon I'll put my questions out as well. I am
very electrically "challenged" so be kind.
My step motors are 8 wire PowerMax II double stacks. Connected in
parallel they are rated at 4.6 amps/phase and 0.38 ohms/phase. (This
is where my ignorance starts to show.) What do they mean by phase in
a step motor?
Using the formulas from the white papers on the Gecko site I came up
with the following:
3(motors) * 4.6 amps * .666 = 9.2 amps
4.6 amps * 0.38 ohms = 1.75 volts
1.75V * 25 = 43.75 VDC Max
For Geckos I will need a Transformer with an output between 24 to 44
VDC
Transformer = single secondary 24VAC / 10amps (24*1.4=33.6VDC)
Torodial? I could not make heads or tails of what would be a
comparable torodial transformer.
Filter Capacitor C=(80,000*I)/V or 80,000*10amps/ 33.6 = 23,810uf
The closest CAPs look to be 27000uf 50V (more ignorance again) What
type of capacitor do I need? When I searched the electronics sites
there must be a dozen or more types of caps.
Bridge Rectifier, min 12A 50V max 25A 100V?
What size, type wire should be used?
So am I close?
Thanks,
Jay
