Maybe this is the physiological reason for my choice. I am not a psychologist; I am an engineer. So let's start with the story about How-to build a rail gun or a coil gun. Or how to not do it...

I love it 😄 Good thing you only harmed material, not yourself! RIP power supply.

Hi Danilo, In the meantime, it is repaired. Two transistors were killed, if I remember right. I made a video about it sometime after the initial video in 2018
