MagStim Metal Launcher Test with Aluminum

Testing an old Magnetic Stimulator device( originally for use as a medical device for stimulation of the human body (treating depression, pain, and diagnostics)) with a folded piece of aluminum sheet. It shoots it a good 5 ft in the air at 40% power. With the machined aluminum disc, I can't go past 50% power in the house as it starts to damage the ceiling and becomes quite loud.

Hi, do you still have it? do you also have its technical manual and schematics?

Please Mike, if you could shoot a video showing inside the Magstim Stimulator I could see how it is. I cannot wait for TMS treatment becomes cheaper and popular. I've quit most of my jobs because of depression... they say even if I had money to buy a TMS Stimulator I couldn't because I'm not a psychiatrist...this is ridiculous because I do know how to use it. We only need to set the motor threshold and the coil position on the Left DLPFC Dorsolateral Pre frontal Cortex. Help me, Please. Paulino

I've only got a few informations about the coil. I already built a coil for testing... a butterfly shaped one. but I need more information about the power module. I'm building a capacitor bank with 5 caps. of 1800uF x 400V. but I've heard that the voltage sent to the coils is up to 4KV... I'm trying to get information about this Switching Spark Gap to be used as a switch for HV. Some people say about IGBT's too.
