Transformer concept

If i generate 1 volt a.c. and with a 1:240 transformer , i step up it to 240 volts then can i lit a 100 watts (240 volts , rated) bulb at its full intensity, from the output terminals?
if not then why?. What are the parameters limiting this to happen? the windings,?wires?,source? or what? plz help
i don't have a new transformer, but tried this with a rusting transformer (10:400), and 6 volts ac adapter at l.v. side but it did not lighted up the bulb. so any one help

You should have stepped it up to a higher voltage level then finally stepped it down to this desired voltage level, because stepping up to the actual voltage you need may give u a lower voltage level due to losses in the transformer, and losses in the wires you used in connecting
