It depends on the "Q" of the transformer. A tight core and winding
can do wonders. Loose windings are fudging and might not be turns true.

I know of no reason you can't do exactly that, and have done
so at lower power levels.
Ignorance doesn't make it work properly.

Sorry, but you and Gunner are reading off the same page, and it's not

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in
liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"
