	Proper transformer core material is a very
	specific set of alloys, for low loss and
	efficiency.  (Nikola Tesla, among others
	identified this....)

	Needs to be INSIDE in the core area, where the mag
	field is.

	(hint:
	transformer design is at least a week or so out
	of the emag course.  For those as REALLY become
	expert, its a lifetime career.)

	They are properly sized by the designer (mostly....)
	for the intended use.  Pushing em to 50 or 100%
	over is not the intended use...  8)>>

	cf above.  Needs to be the right steel in the
	right place....

	Hope this helps...
