Could i build a buck step down circuit using LM317 or anyone of those adjustable regulators? I am wondering if it would work like how a conventional buck circuit operates. I am planning to use Lm317HV which can take in a very high input and use some lm317HV in parrallel to gain more current output along with a good size inductor in the circuit. So would it work like how a buck circuit operates?

I am trying to acheive more current at the output than what is coming in after the input voltage has been step down. Like how mppt works converting that excess voltage to current. So for eg. if i have 30VDC at 3 amp at the input after stepping down to 14VDC will i have more current at the output maybe twice the amount? Will that be the case?
