Re: [TCML] homemade transformer
Hey Clive,
I tried it once. Once was enough to show me that what I thought was
going to be an easy thing to do was an expensive lesson in that I didnt
know poop about transformers.
A few things to consider even before you buy/obtain materials...
Core Material, Cores size, ampreage rating in and out, voltage rating in
and out, insulating properties, wire size both primary and secondary,
hysteresis, eddy currents, flux fields, gauss lines, Teslas( magnetic
strength) and your ability to do upper level math :)
its not that easy, thats why Electical Engineers design these things.
plus its easier and quicker to buy a piggie or NST or salvage MOTS
but if you have the time, resources and patience to take on a project of
this type Im sure we would all like to hear from you and the progrees
you make in your endevors.

Hello all,
Has anybody tried building their own transformer to drive a coil.
It seems simple enough, yet I've never heard about it. If not, does
anybody know why this is not commonly done. Tesla wound his own
transformers and his coils outperformed most of ours.
