This is a Thomson Coil I made as a demonstration. It consists of approximately 400 turns of 12awg solid wire which temporarily draws 15 amps from a 120vac outlet. The core can be adjusted to slide in and out of the windings to adjust the current and direct the flux through the ring of choice. The core consists of a pvc pipe case, filled with laminated steel welding rods.
