Right -- as much, or more; if it's a generator it may be 0% efficient. But if it's just a transformer its efficiency must be greater than 0. :-) By the way -- it's *not* the case that the presence of the pickup coil must make it dissipate less heat in the core, any more than it's the case that the presence of a receiver 20 miles downrange makes the transmitter at an AM radio station run cooler. Just because it looks like a transformer rather than a transmitter doesn't mean it behaves that way. (I've long since backed off from any claim that I fully understand this thing -- and that's why it's still so interesting, of course.) > > Harry > > > > __________________________________________________________________ > Looking for the perfect gift?
