Make an EMP?
 

Is this even possible for a "home project"? I'm bored and like to make things. Was tooling around and from what I've seen its possible. With a low yeild it burns out the wireing way too fast for anything but a "funny" testing.

Just wondering.. in now way would i harm anyone in this or cause harm... just was given a challenge from the less .. well the red neck hicks at work ... and i hate being thought of as a fool.

don't you just hate the male ego?

I would check out the legality of something like this. You may be in for trouble and as they say, ignorance of the law is no excuse.
