Re: [TCML] Microwave inverter?



I think this may have been discussed here but I wonder if the output of the inverter could be rectified and used to charge the capacitor of a 'DC' excited TC. Easy enough to try for someone with the ambition! As for the iron taking the beating, it's too bad the folks who build the 'good old iron core' transformers didn't put enough iron in them to keep them from getting way too hot on 120V.

Subject: [TCML] Microwave inverter?

I recently got my hands on a Panasonic microwave oven (hors de combat). Instead of the usual iron brick MOT, it has an inverter as a HV source. Other than scavenging it for parts, is it useful?
