I am constructing a small model transformer for a project I am doing. the transformer I am building will run off of pulsed DC power through a power transistor with a 555 timer controlling it. It does not have to be very powerful at all, but a homebuilt transformer. The transformer I built is on an E-core of laminated steel i found in my junk box. It is about 1 1/2 inch high. I put two windings on a small square piece of plastic that fits onto the center pole of the E core. The windings are side by side, one has 150 turns, the other has 300. I want to take 12v down to 6v. i hooked up the transformer to 25v ac with no results of power. I had the 300 turn side hooked to the power and the 150 turn side hooked to my voltmeter. i got no reading of power. The transformer is wrapped with about 26 gauge magnet wire or so. (i pulled it off of some ignitor thing) Please help me with building this transformer! Thanks in advance
