   The 5v option and diagram is interesting. The problem I had when I built the   
   circuit , built on me removing the secondary from adapter was that I could   
   only get maybe 3 loops of 14 gauge household wire looped in the space of the   
   removed coil of secondary    
   wire. Is there a size of ac adapter that would be best to try to get 5v or   
   more out of with as few coils of 14 gauge looped in transformer. Eg. In my box   
   of old ac adapters 5v, 12v, 24v etc. Would a higher wall watt give out better   
   output? My original    
   unit has worked for maybe 15 years. Looking to replace. Btw. It pumps water   
   for house, kitchen etc. toilet. Never thought about lawn or washing car but,   
   where I live nobody worries too much about this. There are other solution's   
   that people have    
   suggested they are helpful and appreciate the options and efforts.
