Power Diode Voltage

Electronics help please, need electronic calculations?
Circuit: http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/8508/circuit.png
Questions;
In the above figure, calculate the;
1) Load current,
2) load voltage
3) load power
4) diode power
5) Total power.
Thanks, your help is much appreciated.
Assuming a .7V drop across the diode. Power rounded to nearest Milli watt.
1. load current = 19.3V/1K Ohm = 19.3mA
2. load Voltage = 20 V - .7V = 19.3 V
3. Load power = 19.3V x .0193A = 372 mW
4. diode power = .7V x .0193 A = 14 mW
5. total power = 20V x 19.3 mA = 386 mW

Transmission Lines and Schottky Diode $108.33 A nonlinear relation between current and voltage for schottky resonant tunneling diode is used. A general form of equation similar to VanDer Pol equation is obtained. A Resonant tunneling diode(RTD) has a negative differential resistance that means when the voltage increases the current decreases. This property is very useful for oscillators manufacture. Nonlinear transmission lines is considered to show that it canbe used in oscillators and to show that it can reshape the sinusoidal signals to othershapes by using OrCad and mathematica programming.

Voltage Doubler $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A voltage doubler is an electric circuit with an AC input and a DC output of roughly twice the peak input voltage. They are a variety of voltage multiplier circuit and are often, but not always, a single stage of a general form of such circuits. The term is usually applied to circuits consisting of rectifying diodes and capacitors only, other means of doubling voltages are not included.The Villard circuit consists simply of a capacitor and a diode. While it has the great benefit of simplicity, its output has very poor ripple characteristics. Essentially, the circuit is a diode clamp circuit.

Ignition coils can handle quite high power levels.
If you use a power diode to reduce a DC voltage, will the diode consume any amps?
(Any references would be great)
Current isn't consumed, but due to resistance and a reduction in voltage not as much current will flow.
Consider a 1 OHM resistor at 10 volts in series with a diode.
Current = Volts / resistance
Assuming a perfect ideal diode with 0 voltage drop.
(10 - 0 )/ 1 = 10/1 = 10 amps
But due to the forward voltage drop of .7v in a real world diode there will be a voltage drop which will leave less voltage to push electrons through the resistor.
(10 - .7) /1 = 9.3 /1 = 9.3 amps
This isn't a loss of current its just less current.
If you look at figure 7 of the data sheet for the 100A diode, you will see a chart plotting the forward power loss vs high level current.
Any time current passes through a resistance you will have an I Squared power loss in the form of heat.
Power = Voltage * Current
Power = Current * Current * Resistance ( I^2 * R)
Despite having a low resistance there is still some resistance which will cause heat build up if enough current is flowing in the circuit. This is why devices have heat sinks to carry away heat and minimize heat build up in the device.
The generation of heat is a power loss
