Hi. I found how to convert AC to DC and DC to AC using electrical transformers. Without help of semiconductors.
I not sure what can be made using that. But semiconductors everywhere, in every electronics. Even lasers. This thing that I found can move a big amounts of power, creating different electrical effects. Such as creating oversized sparks that don't touch any parts of the transformer, or can pass through dielectric material without damage it. I haven't research that deep enough, because every time I plug my transformer in the wall it melts my circuit braker and keeps working. Transformer doesn't even warm up. And this sparks can be tuned to travel one direction only. So, I think it can be modified to shoot this balls of fire.
Looking for funding...

I have Extremely little knowledge about the Topic...hence I'm askin...
1) is this a Joke or are you Serious?
2) is the setup Working or Malfunctioning?
3) you familiar with Patent Laws?

Um, semiconductors aren't normally used to convert from AC to DC or DC to AC. Transformers can't convert AC to DC or DC to AC.

2 things. You have crappy breakers and how does a transformer work with no input voltage.
This is a forum, this is not a site to solicit funds.

DC to AC using electrical transformers. Without help of semiconductors
Transformers only produce an output current while the input current is changing.
- If you apply DC to a transformer, the current will initially increase, producing a blip of output current. After that:
1. The input current will grow to exceed the circuit breaker limit, it will trip, producing another blip of current (of opposite polarity). This seems to be what you describe.
2. The input current will grow to exceed the maximum continuous current on the transformer primary, causing a meltdown of the transformer.
3. The input current will grow until it is limited by circuit resistance to below the maximum continuous current on the transformer primary. The falling current will produce another blip of current (of opposite polarity).
Two blips of current of opposite polarity does not make a continuous supply of AC (that you could use to power a toaster, for example).
The usual way of doing DC to AC today is with a semiconductor "inverter" circuit.
- When I was a kid I converted DC to AC using the "Extra High Tension" transformer that originally powered the CRT tube of an old black-and-white TV, in series with an electromechanical buzzer. The whole thing was powered by a pair of AA batteries.
- It could produce respectable sparks - but the batteries did not last very long.

That seems very unlikely.

I'm just Happey the OP is still Alive n Kickin!
Juvenile passion for Electricity.
Now interested in Chemistry.
Hope the end won't be an Affair with Nuclear.
ps - maybe A.I. in future could help out with real time simulations.
(atleast noone would get hurt, the max would be a system crash)
