Just wanted to run an idea past you guys, information in the net seems a bit scarce.
I would like to make a transformer but in 2 parts for a project i would like to work on.
The primary coil will be fixed into a shelf, the secondary coil will be in the base of a drawer.
When the drawer is closed the 2 coils will sit directly over one another and will be approximatly 5mm - 10mm apart. When the drawer is open there will be a switch that turns off the primary coil.
The input voltage of primary coil is 240v 50hz and the output of the secondary will also be 240v 50hz. So i assume both coils should have the same amout of windings.
The coils (from what i read on the internet) will have an air core. But i also read that power transmition between the coils isnt good due to losses.
I need to be able to draw upto 1Amp from the secondary coil. The power will be consumed by a heating element.
Is this easily dooable? If so any pointers on the best way to do it?
I looked at inductive coupling/charging. This is no good for my application as it appears to be a little hit and miss with tuning etc. i also dont need long range power transmission.
