lowering the secondary output voltage of transformer

Hi all,
I have 2 transformer sitting around doing nothing. They are both 117v/500VA, dual secondary, same manufacturer, one is 50-0-50 and the other is 40-0-40.
Is it feasible to connect the the primary of the 40v transformer to the secondary of the 50v transformer. The objective is to get a 17dc output.

Thank you for the help.

Such attempts would be futile: the usable output power would be ridiculous compared to the 1,000VA of the combined transformers. Think of the bulk, weight and power efficiency.
You'd be better buying a cheap, switching wall-wart from Asian origin, even if it is less durable.
