This project so inspired me, I had to have one. So, I built it. Now it is on our bot from 2005. We demo'd it at Freshman orientation night, talk about a hit!!!
We used a non-flow regulated in-line 1" valve from Rain Bird. I had the same question about the 24vac coil and 12vdc supplying it. All I have to say is, it works great. We are using a spike to trigger it.
