There are plenty of forms available from different manufacturers, and by custom-winding your own, you can play with both output voltage and current. If you want some more info on "how-to" or on some of the projects I've done, just email me and let me know. I'll be glad to help. (By the way, I don't come in to read the news often, so please email me a note instead of posting. I have no problems receiving mail (as far as I know), but a lot of my outgoing mail gets bounced back to me.)
