  • Yea, last I checked, personal anecdotes don't set the standard. Just because you haven't had problems doesn't mean

  • When you use a microwave the food or water in the microwave is the load and absorbing the energy from the microwaves. Fat, water, etc, does that absorb that much charge. Place a large piece of metal in the microwave immersed in water and you might blow the breaker then. That is if the MOT doesnt fry first.

  • Yeh, putting metal in a microwave is always a bad idea...

  • @MikeHV Fuck no. I've put loads of metal in a lot of microwaves and i haven't killed one of them. Unless you start a fire

  • i have yet to see a easy to biuld by, circiut or diaghram to biuld this

  • @MikeHV Its because when you put load on the output of the transformer it creates a counteracting magnetic field that the input side of the transformer has to counteract by drawing more amps.... not sure if thats 100% right but im pretty sure its something along those lines..... same thing happens when you drop a powerful magnet through a copper pipe.... it will fall really slowly due to the magnet creating an electric current in the copper that counteracts its own field.

  • damn sounds like you rewound the secondary.. they buzzing really bad

  • hello, do you know about how much copper wire is in one of those transformers? im looking for some to wind a tesla coil... thanks

  • nice but this soun is terrorific

  • Are you using the caps to limit the current?
