Pulse DC 60 htz

thats fantastic, youve been very helpful! thanks a bunch!

Use this:
(LIVE)-----[ 470k ]----[ 470k ]----[ 47k ]----(NEUTRAL/Ground)
Phase  120v         66 v          6v                  0volt

Think about this: 
6 VAC have Sinus-top point at about 10Volts

If using instead 47k resistor an 47k variable resistor
(47k linear pot), you can vary the output .

Good point Pese, that would also give control over duty cycle. A really simple PWM circuit!

I suggested (live to neutral) instead of (live to ground) to prevent house circuit breaker from tripping, but at that high resistance it probably will not leak enough to ground to trip anyway.

Just use the rectified AC / half wave rectification.

Or create a pulse circuit with the 555 timer and use a darlington pair or a transitor to open a channel up for a solenoid switch that supplies higher power.
