Anyone here built a big coil gun?

the high voltage capacitors involved are very dangerous. don't play with it unless you know what you doing.

i was kinda planning on building a small one to start with 😉
 
The power requirements are huge. A friend of mine built one for a school project and said the total power consumed in one shot could power a city for an hour or something crazy like that. Plus you need to have huge capacitors which you need to be careful about.
