RE: My God!

"The better ones have more and thinner laminations in order to 'catch' more lines of magnetic force, as each lamination will pass one line of magnetic force."

Stu, the transformer has laminations to reduce eddy currents, that's all. Don't forget that lines of magnetic force don't really exist, they're just a mental model to help visualize the magnetic flux density and vector. So, actually a thicker lam will have a lower reluctance and more "lines of force" than a thin one, but it also has lower resistance and thus more eddy current loss.
