This device is probably not terribly compliant in most countries, but is classic Russia/Ukraine technology. Apparently it's not actually rated for 240V but 220 is close enough. It's also only rated for use in very short bursts (short duty cycle) and rapidly emits smoke if used excessively. The coil has a DC resistance of 100 ohms.
While I'm not actually going to suggest you buy one of these, here's the listing on eBay:-

Keep in mind that it's not kiddie compliant and may go up in smoke if played with excessively.

And here's the listing for the spirit hydrometer for testing your illicit spirit.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
