Some time ago there was a query about oscillator design.  Specifically,
a gentleman wanted to design a power oscillator for a strobe flash.

For the transformer design queries Ferronics Incorporated provide
a pamphlet which covers torroid design considerations (applicable
to most transformer design actually), and a small torroid starter
kit.

Their address is:

	Ferronics Incorporated,
	Ferrite Division

	60 North Lincoln Road
	East Rochester, New York 14445

	(716) 377-6820

Most of the transformer related queries can be answered from this
short document.  I have designed some inverter transformers (as a hobbyist);
they seemed to work reasonably well.  The biggest problem is determining
the B-H characteristic of your ferrite material.  The oscillator design
is an iterative process.

If you have any other questions just send mail.
