And finally, you can run several 7805s in parallel. The easiest way to do it is to make the inputs a common connection and the grounds a common connection. But don't connect the outputs directly together. The 7805 don't all regulate at exactly the same voltage and the one that regulates at the highest voltage will do all the work while the others loaf along and you'll don't have solved anything. Instead, put a small-value (e.g., 0.47 ohm, 1-watt) resistor in series with each output and THEN connect the other ends of those resistors in common as your final output. That small value of resistance will allow each regulator to work independently of the others and the current will be shared by all of the regulators fairly equally. The down side of this fix is that it makes the regulation a little bit "softer" (i.e., a higher internal resistance for the supply), but in most cases, won't be much of a problem.
