I'm assuming you mean square waves with variable DC? When you have square waves input to a transformer, the output instead of having a nice square waves is a series of delta function pulses timed to the square wave rise time. These delta functions aren't fit for much in the way of running something.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
