    		Mercy, yes. My brother won first prize for one he made for a school science fair nearly 35 years ago. He wrapped a long, heavy-duty mailing tube in yards and yards of fine copper wire by turning it on a wood lathe. The one I saw at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles years later seemed very similar to his.

    I can't believe the official site doesn't have an image! Other, typo-riddled sites you can find do.
