I hope this system could be used overnight when camping in forests with bea rs and be powered by batteries. The wire perimeter could be attached to tre es with fence staples and a turnbuckle could be used to tighten the wires. A inverter circuit with ferrite transformers could be used to initially ste p-up the voltage from 12V DC to 120V AC with a 10:1 transformer and then an other transformer would step the voltage from 120V to 1200V with another 10 :1 transformer. It might be possible to do the step up with one 100:1 trans former but it seems easier with 2 10:1 transformer since it would require m uch less windings and I suspect more power output since their is less induc tance on the secondary? Could both transformers be wound the same for 12V t o 120V inverter step up and then the 120V to 1200V step up or would the tra nsformers have to be wound differently due to the difference in voltages an d current? I assume the output current would simply be the inverse of the v oltage step-up as I want this to be a bear deterrent, not an electrocution for the bear or myself or a Ranger! I'm not sure of the exact voltage and c urrent I would need so any advice would be welcome. Brock
