In this video I will be showing you how to calculate and build a basic mains transformer with electrical steel sheets. Along the way you will learn about the number of turns and the thickness of the primary and secondary winding and also how the size of the transformer influences those values. Once the testing of the "normal" transformer is done, I will then continue by 3D printing one with ferromagnetic filament in order to find out whether it can be an alternative material. Let's get started!

attempted to create my own mains transformer with an old transformer core
/youtube/video/9BeTMMI8wRc?t=12.19
using ferromagnetic filaments
/youtube/video/9BeTMMI8wRc?t=56.59
the fitting coil
/youtube/video/9BeTMMI8wRc?t=107.48
find all the dimensions of the steel sheets
/youtube/video/9BeTMMI8wRc?t=143.78
calculate a maximum primary current
/youtube/video/9BeTMMI8wRc?t=262.97
get the minimum cross section area of the copper wire
/youtube/video/9BeTMMI8wRc?t=278.20999
started the transformer bullets by inserting the primary wire into its chamber
/youtube/video/9BeTMMI8wRc?t=318.67999
repeated the same winding process for the secondary side
/youtube/video/9BeTMMI8wRc?t=350.72
create a second electrically isolated transformer core after testing its performance
/youtube/video/9BeTMMI8wRc?t=394.55899
measure an output voltage of thirteen point three volts
/youtube/video/9BeTMMI8wRc?t=453.92899
draw up to 26 watts on the secondary
/youtube/video/9BeTMMI8wRc?t=475.82901
create dozens of transformer core slices
/youtube/video/9BeTMMI8wRc?t=509.73001
hooking it up directly to mains voltage
/youtube/video/9BeTMMI8wRc?t=530.58002
create the transformer core both plain old pla filaments
