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.

Definatly has the effect. So badass. :tup:
