Re: [TCML] "Wall Wart" Transformers



Have you considered using a flyback transformer with a high power ZVS driver? They are specifically designed for the high voltage and will not 
self-destruct unless pushed really hard... Since most wall warts are only rated at about 10 - 20w, it would seem a ZVS flyback would be better 
anyway since you can put hundreds of watts through them without the core saturating. All you really need is to find a rectified-but-not-multiplied 
xfrmr (check at the local trash tip for old tv's) and run your coil on DC.
