burner...
Greetings All,
For those of you who have built feather burners using old train transformers...what kind of power should I be looking for?
Thanks in advance.
Happy hunting, Jason

Will depend a lot on the gauge of the niochrome wire you use.

I tried an old train transformer, it kinda sucked at the job. I bought a cheap Keystone 120v to 12v 75 watt max output mini transormer and it's much better.They should cost under $15.

For a young ribbon I use a 10 amp battery charger

Battery charger was just what I was thinking you might try. Some have multiple settings.

Isn't that pretty hard on a battery charger?....like a dead short?

No because he nichrome wire absorbs the current floe which is DC current and then simply heats up the wire . when you charge a battery the lead plates absorb the current then through a chemical acid action create electricity D C . any resistance heat is a controlled short . the burner is a electric heater.
