Coil in emp circuit

[headros]

I am a novice building an EMP generator from this schematic using the 555 timer. I was unsure of the coil I needed. Can someone explain to me what coil the schematic asks for? I took one from a linksys carcass. Can this coil make do? (see photo) It seems like it works when powered on, my EMF meter goes over 120millgauss pointing near the coil and I get a signal on the oscilloscope. I am using the 1uF capacitor to create a 156Hz - 10kHz pulse. When I use the .1uF cap i can clearly hear the buzzing sound coming from the coil. Thank you for any tips or suggestions.

10-30 turn inductor coil. That's what is says on the schematic. That means that you can use ANY inductor that has 10-30 spiral wound coil.

I ended up hand winging my own coil and the device works beautifully. Not pretty but gets the job done. Thanks for the confirmation.

That's cool, how many turns are on that thing?

Any way to show a video of it working?
