Small modern flyback transformers are cheap, but as far as
I know, they all have diodes potted inside of them. The potting on
these flybacks universally seems to be impervious epoxy. Does anyone know of:
1) a low cost (under $25), in production, diode-less (AC output) flyback?
2) a simple method of mechanically incising the diode from a particular
model of low cost, in-production flyback without destroying everything
else
3) a method to remove the epoxy from some particular in-production flyback
(the least likely IMO)
Besides the obvious benefit of those who want AC from a
flyback, I was thinking that the secondary coil of a flyback could
possibly be a good lowcost charging inductor for a DC tesla
coil. Or just a plain old great high Henry, high voltage coil for
lots of potential (ha) uses.
