Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

"Don't worry it's safe".

Anyone who believes that line from the psychiatric industry is ignorant (like I was) or just plain stupid.

Ever put metal in the microwave oven ?

From a page on TMS,

" The circuitry used to generate the magnetic field pulses is usually based on a capacitor discharge system (shown in its simplest form in figure 4) with typical peak coil currents in the range of several kiloamps and discharge voltages of up to a few kilo volts. The relatively high voltage is required to give the required rapid rise of current into the inductance of the stimulating coil."

"Several Kilo amps and discharge voltages of up to a few kilo volts" That's big-time energy levels.

Volts X amps = watts

This is a microwave oven schematic , 120 volts mabey 9 amps = about 1000 watts.
