I am the Evangelist for the Maker Shed. It seems that there is no limit to my making interests. I'm a tinkerer at heart and have a passion for solving problems and figuring out how things work. When not working for Make I can be found falling off my unicycle, running in adverse weather conditions, skiing down the nearest hill, restoring vintage motorcycles, or working on my car.

The video outlines how a coil gun works and demonstrates what can go wrong in a way that… well… just watch the video.
Check out Mehdi’s YouTube Channel for more even more educational hilarity. I just subscribed.
