I’ll need:
-12 glass beer bottles
-a smaller storage bin that can fit all 12 bottles
-a neon sign transformer, or two
-a copper toilet bowl float.
-Some copper strips.
-A few nuts and bolts
-Some standard solid core house wire.
-A few feet of copper plumbing tube
-A 50ft. spool of 14-16 gauge wire
-Industrial cardboard tube of 3 inches in diameter
-Heavy duty extension cord
-Some other important odds & ends I forgot

And for fun:

-A large wooden stick
-Some duct-tape
-A standard 40w flouresant lighting tube

Should be good for some weak 4-8 inch bolts on 110v. :tup:

But his coil > many

Speaking of Jacob’s Ladders.
