"Stormin Mormon"


So, it's cheaper to put a half wave rectifier in, instead of
a second coil of heater wire? I rather doubt that.

I don't remember the details, but I know quite a few DO work that way
- and they also used 12 volt DC blower motors, without a transformer,
by basically using the heater element as a rheostat..


** My 1600 watt "Black & Decker" hot air gun is made exactly like that.
