I had one of these Lost in Space "Roto Jet Guns". They shot the typical red spinners. A mint one with a box goes for over 3 thousand bucks now. sigh....

His dad got them from the train bone yard. Cant remember if they were used in some hi-voltage application on a train engine or used in the train yard for something. We worked on the circuitry from books in school and his dad came up with the heavy duty hardware. It was a true frankenstien looking device. Total operational time for this device throughout its life had to be less than 5 minutes. It was way to powerful and scary. You couldnt stand far away enough from it to feel comfortable when it was turned on. Ill never forget the blue sparks arcing from the stinger and the Principle rushing over to us to turn it off!
