A bank of capacitors between your power supply and the coil works really well to keep the burning down. Just have to make sure to get a switch that can handle the immense current from shorting out .5F at 120V.

Built a single stage model about 10 years ago. Used a .75" steel ball, fun stuff.

Reminds me of "the good old days" in the Texas Tech EE lab in the late 70's/ early 80's.

Yeah, I'm playing table tennis with a few science/engineer/nerd-minded friends tonight, and this video will be shown...
I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.

I have one word for you, Tweezers. God created engineers to entertain the rest of us.
