My son is trying to make a solenoid to 'launch' a 1cm ball bearing as part of a physics project. We got some magnet wire and wound it on a spool, planning to use a large spike to provide the movement. My questions: generally, are you looking for high current, high voltage or (yikes) both in order t…
