  My question now is where to obtain the needed SOLID CORE COPPER WIRE???
  As most all transformers are wound using solid wire, so there must be a good reason, for not using the stranded house wiring, like I had on the previous flyback core up to now.  Any ideas on where to obtain the needed solid core wire for this flyback core???

Dear Nick.

Your question could have a number of answers !! I have attached an  AWG  conversion table which clearly shows the difference between Dia and cross sectional area (mm 2 ). Now depending on how dear GeoFusion measured his wire will have a bearing on what you need to use.

Here in the UK most domestic wiring is done with solid Copper conductors at 1,  1.5  and  2.5 mm2.  I have been so long out of the "game" that I don't know if the next size up @ 4 mm2 is stranded !! 

I would like to assume that where you live has at least adopted certain electrical standards and that you should similarly have those wire sizes available to you .

Cheers Grum.

  Ok, thanks for the wiring specs.  Here stranded wire is commonly used in house construction, but I'll check with some hardware stores to see if any of the solid core can be obtained.
  I notice that the tv antenna wire that is shielded has a solid copper wire that is about 1mm, or possible 1.5 mm thick, but the insulation on it is too thick and so I can't fit all 10 turns inside the flyback core. 
  For now, I'll just wind the same wire that I had on the previous flyback core, onto the new one,  and see what happens.

Hi Khwartz,

There is no competition as the grid will light the bulb far brighter and it would therefore be pointless to post a photo of this. I only posted this photo to show Nick that a 1000W halogen could be lit off the main trafo on my replication of Geo's setup as he is having problems lighting a 100W bulb from his main trafo. I will not be taking experiments with my replication any further unless and until Geo gives me any valid reason to do so by way of some benchmark measurements that suggest to me that there is something special about his RMG.

OK, well noticed, Hoppy. Thanks for specifying.

Hi dear Grum.

Very thanks for sharing this table,  I was looking for something like that to convert data from English tongue often in AWG, to mm2, and mm to mm2 too

Thanks for your help.

Regards.

just google 'awg table'... there's one at wikipedia too
