How to make one:
Didnt find any tutorials, but if any1 is a bit interested in elecronics should notice its simple as pie... Dont want to really explain that one here, cause its fun with around 400-500 Volts... So any1 that doesnt know electronics should stay away from it :P

Fireball Shooter (more of a gadget)

How it works, and how to make one:

Making of this one is simple too... you have to get a big inductor, with a metalic top that passes throu bigger ammounts of voltage, which appears as the lightning

Btw - The inductor is making the sounds, not the lightning xP

Enjoy fun with physics ^^
