Actually, my father is an electrical engineer, and he gave me advice on some of the finer details.
Last time I gave out details on how I built it,
I got accused of trying to push someting on people that was perhaps dangerous.There are risks involved, such as lowering the seizure threshold.
Anyhow, its basically the combination of a computer and I high powered amplifier. I use sound editing software to generate the frequency through my sound card, then amplify the signal with the amp. I connect the coil to the speaker output (as thats all speakers are - electromagnets) and take if from there. The amp can easily burn out. With a few pysicis calculations, I determined coil size as well as the output volume on the amp - to determine the correct feild strenght.
