In this experiment, low amperage is applied to one side of a transformer, which consists of two coils with a different number of windings and an iron core, while a much higher amperage can be measured on the other side. This current is sufficient to melt a nail.

When a bi-metal coil is heated, both metals expand at different velocities, resulting in an unrolling of the coil.
