I would like to know if its possible to create my own transformer- preferably by producing my own windings. My goal is to make an open-air transformer encased in an acrylic box. I would like it be able to withstand a 15A load at 120V. I want the windings to be 1:1 so that the power is just transferred through the magnetic field, not stepped up or stepped down.The purpose would be to power my PC through it, just because I think it would be cool to look at the box and imagine the energy transferring through the air to my screen. Obviously, it's doing that out in the street, and a thousand other places before it gets to me, but I don't get to see any of it!Any one have any suggestions? If it's way to difficult or expensive to make my own inductors, what kind of inducts would I need to buy, and how close would the need to be to each other?
a 15a load is way more than you need for a PC, which probably needs 1 or 2 amps at the most. If you really want to make a 15*120 1800 watt transformer go ahead, but it's a lot more work than a 1*120 120 watt one. You will need a transformer core, which you can buy, or salvage out of an old transformer of the proper power level, and a lot of wire. You need to calculate the proper wire size and number of turns, and get enough enameled wire to do that. Transformers are not made of inductors or inducts, but of turns wound on a laminated iron core. Make sure the box has ventilation holes in it, as this may get hot. You do realize that a mistake may result in lots of smoke and perhaps a fire? And you could get burned, or electrocuted? And your terminology leads me to believe your knowledge in this area is close to zero. Be sure to use fuses as part of your design. Use the buddy system, have someone within hearing distance at all times with a fire extinguisher, and that person should have knowledge of what to do to cut the power. .
The info that those ideals are comparable are evidence of their validity. however the Sumerians' ideals weren't precisely in song with the actuality as Abraham knew it. God's so called 'try' of Abraham to sacrifice his son grew to become into evidence to Abraham that God did no longer approve of human sacrifice which grew to become into conventional at that component. Many places in the O.T. the Jews took idols from the people around them and commenced sacrificing their babies. God says He hated that and by no potential commanded it. Which grew to become into what He grew to become into attempting to tutor Abraham. Sending you a grin to help p.c. up your day.
Do not muck about with mains voltage transformers unless you really know the subject extremely well. You will be putting yourself and your property in danger if you do. Please consider purchasing an Isolation Transformer, rated to handle the load connected to its output. This will be expressed in Watts on the back of the appliance you connect. Seek an electrician's advice.
