I am curious about the magnetic shunts in standard MOT's.

Q: what would happen if I took a 720 W MOT, and took out 50% of the shunts 
on both sides?

(I am assuming that the Wattage rating of the transformer would skyrocket. 
So, if I ran out of 1.1 kW MOT's I could always modify a smaller one to get 
the needed output power by extracting shunts...just the same principle as a 
Neon XMFR.) Am I assuming correctly???

...has anybody tried this??
