I've been toying with the idea of building one myself for a while, but I'm afraid it would probabaly turn into one of those projects I'd forget about.

Unfortunately, there isn't much that you can find around your house for such a project, other than some flyback transformers from an unused/old television. Be careful poking around in there, though. The other (cheap 'n' dirty) option that has been discussed around various "lifter" (I like to call it electrokinetic propulsion, it's more professional) sites, is using the ignition coil from various automobiles.
