MK1,

The current is not the same in the primary and secondary, the power or volt/amps is, excluding any losses. By adding additional coils to the toroid you are basically adding additional secondaries which will split the power output between them.

@MrMag

Can you prove it either way? That is the question?

MK1,

Let me explain it this way.

Lets say I have a transformer that has a 1:1 ratio. This same transformer has 10 secondaries on it.

What I am saying is that if I feed in 120V at 10 amps, each secondary will have 120V at 1 amp.

What I think you are saying is that the outputs should be 120V at 10 amps each.

Is this what you are trying to say?? Maybe I lost something.

i think all coil will have 120 10 amp each.

You said your self 1 for 1 ratio so there equal, no gain here. but that is with 1 primary and one secondary , but the laws say the current is the same in all the coil , so 10 amps is 10amps in each coil , it doesn't say to devide the output per secondary, you do !

Can you prove that ? That is the question.
There is nothing that show the the amps is divided by number of secondary .

Puppy Linix, I went to the below address because I heard there was a program called Puppy Linix, but when I got there I was bamboozeled by it all.
What actual file would I need to download to install on my older laptop? I want to try this out.

Yes,

Take a look and try it out.
The open source community is alive and well in linux land.

Go for it on one of those older computers of yours.
It seems to support firefox
I saw sea monkey also
And flash player
What more could you want.
A gui? yup, it has one of those too
The size is too small for me to remember...  Oh well, it is very small which means fast.

Linux is the way of the future, at least MY future  .

so in short. IMO...Try it, Jim and please remember to let me know.
