I am after these documents on ULTRA HIGH POWERED Audio Transformer Design which someone may have available for making a copy of.

To purchase this Military/General Electric > High Power, High Voltage, Audio Frequency Transformer Design Manual < it will cost $282 USD (for me closer to $600 AUD) just for the main document which is not reasonable given the type of material, to pay that sort of money. Maybe we could take up a collection of funds and purchase a copy between all and then make copies from that. Any suggestions I would be most interested. My email is > kimbalsummers@hotmail.com <

The last email I got about 2 years ago from > info@ntis.gov < was quoting the following prices for the one below document number AD607774 ( which is the main one ) -

The NTIS Order Number for this report is AD607774, this sells for -
Papercopy Foreign Price $282.50 per copy. The Microfiche Foreign Price $85.00 per copy. The CD-ROM Price $212.00 per copy. (This is a pdf image file on a CD-ROM). There is a $12.50 handling fee per total order. All regular prepaid orders are shipped "air-to-surface" unless airmail is requested. Airmail service is available for an additional fee of $8 per item. NOTE: The document will be a reproduction from our digitized archives and will be 3-hole punched.

Abstract:
This final report, or transformer design manual, is divided into eight sections. Sections 1, 2 and 3 are the Abstract, Objectives and Definitions of Symbols respectively. Section 4 covers information of interest to the transformer user as well as the designer. This section includes a discussion on the transformer mechanical and electrical specifications, the test requirements, and the effect of the specifications on the transformer size, weight, and cost. Section 5 covers the audio frequency transformer design procedure. Here the design of an audio transformer has been broken into a step-by-step outline. Each step is briefly described, all necessary equations are listed and defined, and pertinent factual data is presented in tables and curves. Section 6 presents the procedural detail used to calculate the various parameters needed in the step-by-step design section. Section 7 includes the step-by-step design for the 350 kilowatt verification unit. The design summary for the 15 kilowatt and the 100 kilowatt units is also included. The test results for the three verification units are presented and discussed in this section. Section 8 is a complete bibliography of the literature researched during the contract period.

Abstract:
The purpose of this project is the investigation, presentation, and verification of data and design methods used to design high power, high voltage, audio frequency transformers. Ratings of these transformers fall within the following charac teristics: (a) Peak power levels from 15 to 350 kilowatts; (b) Operating frequencies from 20 cps to 20,000 cps; (c) Peak voltage ratings from 4,000 volts to 28,000 volts; and (d) Impedance levels of 300 to 3,000 ohms primary and 10 to 1,200 ohms secondary. The scope of this work includes a thorough discussion of the mechani cal and packaging aspects of the design, the insulation materials and processing of

Just adding to the above - I have no intentions of building 100 kilowatt guitar amps or the like. I simply want to use the research information attained in the Manual and scale it down for stuff under 10 kilowatts ( say push pull 833 triodes, or the other newer ceramic type vacuum tubes; etc.)

Designing really LARGE Power Transformers ends up as a specialist feild once you start getting over a kilowatt or so. Even more so with Audio Transformers.

So far this manual is the only Audio Transformer design material I can find on the really big stuff from covering 20hz-20khz in frequency, output impedances & voltages for standard transmitter tube operation such as those used in AM Modulators and specialist Audio equipment in industry.

With some fiddling of the figures and design parameters I cannot see why really big Hi-Fi stuff could not be designed from this manual, as it gives step by step design proceedures for practical construction of really humungous Audio Transformers.

For the serious builder - it would be far cheaper to build yourself than get a commercial winder to do the job.

I pretty well have most documents/books/articals readily attainable from the internet that are FREE on Audio Transformers ( but many links have since been lost as the websites close down ); but there are a few items that would be worthy of adding to my own collection if I can source them; such as >
'Electronic And Radio Engineering' ( By Frederick Emmons Terman ) as published in 1955, with 1078 pages; etc.

If anyone has other information on - Audio Transformer Design and/ or Construction - please email me - Thanks!
 
Yes I am interested in a group buy. I am not so interested in the Micro-fishce copy only because of the drama to rescan it and make it into a PDF file - which in reality is all I want. The CD is what I really want as I can print that off into a hardcopy.

Just to be nice to all those interested I have one of the docs already off the net and can supply that to those who want it - FOR FREE of course. Email me at > kimbalsummers@hotmail.com < for more details and to express your interest in a group buy.
:D
