If you are bored, and have the time and materials laying around, then look at this website to explore how to build a Tesla coil.

The ‘Tesla Coil’ is a device invented by the brilliant scientist Nikola Tesla (born 1856, died1943). It is a high voltage, high frequency, power generator, primarily built for conducting experiments and to observe phenomenon associated with alternating electricity. With this coil, Tesla was able to generate voltages of such magnitude, they would shoot out of the apparatus as bolts of lightning!
