Well, it's been a bit. We had a small (109mph) typhoon on island and I lost power and several segments of my fences. I am trying to get back on track, sooo

ok, so trying to use the stock wound coils failed. I could not get to the interior wire without destroying the case and adjacent wire. I ended up deciding that I would have to rewind the whole thing on another spool. It kind of defeats the purpose. I will probably do this at some point but I was too frustrated. So I decided to make my portable power supply. I took some 24 18650 Li-on Batteries to make a 12v battery.

I bought 24 single cell battery holders. Found an old Chivas container that would fit them. cut it all up and made it so I could mount 4 cells layered to make 6 layers of dual cells. It gives me a large 11.1v (12v) portable bank.

My friend was leaving island last night so we grabbed the original coil and put it into the dual capacitor setup and launched some slugs :)

after some sparks and destroyed boxes, we had smoke. bad smoke. I think I fried my capacitor charger. Everything overheated. Bad smoke :( but we had some fun on his last night. Time To Rebuild a Bit...
