The 2 KV transformer makes a hot Jacob's ladder but will kill you dead if you let it bite you. It even has a magnetic shunt current limiter. You might build a cute little jewelry furnace. Common ceramic magnets absorb microwaves and get hot. If you're real clever, you might turn it into an electrode-less CO2 laser or build a microwave particle accelerator and synthesize radio-isotopes in your very own nuclear reactor 8^) Scott ******************************************************* Democrats tax and spend, Republicans borrow and spend.
