Claim:
1. An electromagnetic transformer component comprising: a magnetic core; and at least two conductors fabricated from a composite conductive material including carbon nanotubes, the at least two conductors respectively shaped to define a primary winding and at least one secondary completing a respectively different number of turns to provide a step up or step down current or voltage output when the at least two conductors are assembled with the magnetic core and connected to electrical circuitry; wherein the at least two conductors respectively have a cross sectional area that is determined relative to at least two reference conductors in a reference transformer component; wherein a ratio of an electrical conductivity (β) of the at least two conductors to an electrical conductivity of the at least two reference conductors in the reference electromagnetic component is greater than 1; and wherein the ratio of electrical conductivity (β) defines an upper limit and a lower limit of an effective diameter that corresponds to the cross sectional area of the at least two conductors.
