Lower voltage diode the other side of a step up transformer?

Then the proper response to any SED posting is "look it up."

Or use LTSpice. If Mr Kinsey troubled to so use it, it would go some way to show he's not so much of a troll.

That is what I did and the result was largely as expected. Putting a diode, resistor and inductor in series as a starting point is hardly rocket science.

I truly doubt there is ANYTHING Kinsey DOES understand - - -

I used a MOT, but more oomph to it. The target managed with AC.

I used a row of halogen bulbs as a ballast for the input. 12 sockets in parallel, so I could plug in as many of any wattage I liked to change the current limit.

Yeah.... like the 5G does? Hint - all this stuff is lower frequency than visible light. You have to reach UV before it has enough energy to damage cells.

Step into my microwave oven.

Lol. Back in the day with radar sets people did get burned But that isn't radiation damage, that's pure dielectric heating.

Infra red radiation from a fire will cook you just as well

Radar will cook you from the inside. Much faster.

Indeed, but its not direct radiation its dielectric heating

Never seen one with dots.

How can I draw the winding currents? I thought they would be in the same direction, but you say not. And what if you wound one clockwise and one anticlockwise?

First hit from google:

Only because of the power output. An equally powered radiant electric fire will cook you at the same speed.

I see. Only time I've needed phase was when I wired some secondaries in series. I did so, checked if I'd added or subtracted voltage, then reversed the connections if necessary.

So If I wind two coils round a transformer core, does the current go the same way in each?

Depends on what they are connected to.

Why would that make a difference?

Gosh, I was wrong, you DO have a sense of humor.

No, I just don't know much about transformers. My degree is in DIGITAL microelectronics.

Really, that's a new one?

Yet some say you provided a link to a degree certificate in Physics. That of course no one else can now find.

There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.
