Hahaha. Answer three is funny. They are right though. You can't get something for nothing. Answerer two is wrong. Transformers can step up or step down either current or voltage. Wattage always stays the same, though. Here's the deal, a step down transformer reduces the voltage and increases the current. A step up transformer increases the voltage while reducing the current. All transformers are rated in watts (or VA, roughly the same). If you have a transformer that converts 110 volts @ 1/2 amp (55 watts) to 12 volts, the secondary will be capable of just over 4 amps. (12 x 4.6 = 55 watts). A step up transformer would do just the opposite. So, to answer your question, no. Perhaps if you would tell us what you are trying to do, we could assist you.

Varactor diode? Hahaha... you guys are hilarious!

'nuff said?

Only if you use a power transformer. A normal one wouldn't do it, it would only transform the voltage up or down.

Power is volts times current. A transformer only steps up (or down) voltage, not current.

yes, BUT only if you add 14.04W from an another source, the transformer will work as an separator. ;-)
it's an trick question?!

I don't know very much about this at all. I think if you could store up the charge and release it in bursts, then maybe. Whether this could be of any use at all I don't know.
But, like I say, what would I know. I can wire a plug.

I don't believe so, I think that would violate the law of conservation of energy.

no, transformers cant change the wattage, just the voltage.

I THINK YOU MEAN AN AMPLIFIER OR EVEN A VARACTOR DIODE , IF YOU STEP-UP THE VOLTAGE IT AFFECTS THE CURRENT TOO .
