Hi guys, I'm a typical nerd that wanted to do an at home science project but don't want to spend lots of money on this coil. I would love to borrow/rent one if someone could help me. Otherwise if someone new a cheap supplier that i could get one off?
It looks like either of these pictures :)

They're not that hard to make... What field level do you need, and over how large a volume?
