Can anyone suggest an interesting use for microwave oven transformers .

If you switch around the primary and secondary,
you get a nice low voltage high current transformer.
And suddenly its not dangerous anymore.


That leaves the mains supply connected directly to the fixing bolts,
so there is a safety issue to work around there.

Nuke transformers have lots of uses, just google on them. But theyre
far from ideal power transformers in almost every respect, so arent as
good as might first be expected. An arc welder seems to be the most
practical option.
