The Story So Far
Paul obtained his microwave ovens, wired the garage for 220 volts, and extracted the first transformer. In this segment he replaces the old secondary windings with new, thicker wire.
One side of the secondary winding was sawed off with a hacksaw.
The secondary windings were in so tight they had to be knocked out.
Tearing out a few windings loosened the rest.
The secondary is completely removed.
Using short lengths of 6 gauge wire as guides.
The completed secondary consists of 11 feet of 6 gauge wire wound in 11 turns.

This thing looks mental, Keep us updated!
There are quite a few people out there who also think this project is mental. Paul’s mother for one.
Thanks for the useful info. It’s interesting , may help in avoiding accidents
Foot,
There is more to come as soon as Paul gets some time.
I think arc welding has greater scope in present world,we could get job easily in this field.
