DC voltage boost converter step up current?

Update:

If my LED requires 32 volts and 3Amps but my source is around 12 volts can I use DC voltage booster to step up the voltage to 32 volts? Can I step up the current?

    Yes, you can, even if your source in not at 9 AMPs(in this case you will need other circuit, so you will have a pulse current)

    NO !

    EXAMPLE: A 3V AND 1A POWER SOURCE COULD NOT BE BOOTED UP INTO 10V AND 10A, BECAUSE POWER SOURCE IS 3W THAT CANNOT BECOME 100W.
