How do I build my very own ECT machine?

Just found this remarkable thread:

Digital DIY :: Topic: I'd like to build an ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) machine (1/1)

For dear old Freako, this relates to a thread created by someone who wishes to design his very own ECT machine to help with insomnia.

Two bits of wire and a mains socket?

Think I've still got some old ignition coils in the shed. If you set up an ignition coil with 12v supply and a suitable interruptor you get a spark of max half cm long. Use two with the primaries in series the right way round and you get 2 inches. That should do.
