The Sonic Time Blaster or STB-60 is truely a unique instrument. As a matter of fact, if it came right down to physical time travel, then this is the unit to do it with. The STB-60 is a variation of the Sonic Resonator, with additional improvements.
When constructing the STB-60, the diodes and capacitor should be assembled onto a 2 by 4 inch piece of Perf Board. Also allow some space on the Perf Board, so that you can tape the panel to the bottom of the control box. You should also put some heat resistant tape over the underneath side of the Perf Board below the componants. The reason for this is because the diodes get hot and you may burn a hole in your box.
As for the electromagnet, you should use over 400 ft. of 21 guage magnet wire. This type of wire may be obtained at a place where they repair electric motors. When dealing with the core of the electromagnet, soft iron should be used. However, steel will probably work just as good. The outer part of the core should also be wrapped with heat resistant tape, (i.e. before you wrap the core with wire). After you have finished wrapping the core with 21 guage magnet wire, also wrap the outer part of the coils with heat resistant tape. Remember, these coils get hot!!!
