Microwave oven transformer.  The price has been going up on these.  I seem to remember paying just $10 or $20 each.  Finding junked microwave ovens is fairly easy too.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/Microwave-Oven-High-Voltage-Transformer-GAL-700U-1-w15/273263153173?hash=item3f9fc0d015:g:JXUAAOSwC~1bFzPk

  1. Hi Ben, I am currently working on a project to do with supercritical co2 and am looking at making a device similar to yours and have some questions about some aspects of it, if you would be able to email me on vejbailey101@gmail.com I would be very grateful!
