You probably want to limit current through diodes, by adding a resistor between power supply and diodes, rather than roasting them with 20 Ampere.

Try this - this, apart of the resistors, shows voltages over diodes, rather than current through them, which may be a better parameter for your demonstration: http://everycircuit.com/circuit/6351978108813312
