I realize I asked for it but, please be kind.
I have been searching the web, datasheets, online tech help from suppliers, forums (thanks all) and pretty much every where that seemed to look like a possibility to get some ideas. So as many of us know, that will often freeze your brain rather than lead you somewhere. I am sure that I am making this MUCH harder than it needs to be. I don't want to use transformers, it makes too much heat and would greatly increase the size and weight of my project.
To put it simply, I need to convert 110VAC to 36VAC. At this point, I am not asking for high tolerences, perfect sinusoidal waves, or any parameter or restriction one might put on to warn me about.
I am willing to try "almost" any idea. I would like (Sorry for the spoon feeding request) some circuit diagrams. I'm looking toward triacs, power regs and switching supplies at this point but not finding the results I was hoping for.
