What the hell kind of transformer is T1? I've searched everywhere and I can not figure it out. Any help?

Problem?

It's called a "wind-it-yourself" transformer :P

Seriously, most multi-tap transformers (such as this one) are custom wound for each application. Even most basic two-coil transformers are custom made since each application needs a very specific design. If you needed a large volume, such as for use in a product you were manufacturing, there are a large number of manufacturers that can manufacture custom transformers.

You can make your own transformers. Just make sure you know what you're doing, look up the proper construction techniques, avoid making dangerous ones which arc and catch fire, etc :)

Are you kidding me? No manufacturer stocks multi-tap transformers with the kind of ratios you would want for the circuit shown here. The only options are:

1) Order a custom transformer from a transformer manufacturer (i.e. costs an arm and a leg)

2) Make it yourself, it's not that hard.

This is an extremely useful website on how to make your own transformers: http://ludens.cl/Electron/trafos/trafos.html

Lol.. I was wondering why exactly you wanted a circuit that looked like it was designed to produce very high voltages from a 9V battery...

Also, the transformers are going to be a bitch to make (especially T2) because they need very high voltage isolation.

>> No.3562900

>>3562891
Yeah I was reading that site and they seem like cunts to make. I already have T2 I just need T1.

Well, some of these stun guns are designed to go up to 100kV. One layer of wax paper ain't gonna stop that very reliably :P

>> No.3562944

They may be cunts to make, but nobody will make the exact transformer you need unless you pay then an arm and a leg BECAUSE they are cunts to make :)
