~The Transformer
  1. Hack the transformer

First of all remove the secodnary winding using tools. Make sure you don't damage the enamel on the primary, we still need it.

Now take THICK wire and make two loops. In this way, instead of high voltage we het high current, enough to melt metal. Now is time to prepare the PCB.

~The PCB

Download the PCB from below and order it at PCBWAY.com. Then check the schematic and solder all the components. There are just a few. THe important one is the BTA100 TRIAC.
