How about metal stamping? All it would take is a few forms for various sized
toroids, some hydraulics, and a supplier of Al sheet metal. A toroid halve
could be stamped from a circle of Al in a few seconds. Not much more than
initial setup costs, and the price of Al per toroid. I imagine that it would
be cheaper than a giant magnetoforming setup w/ large discharge caps and
inductors? I would be interested in doing this myself, but I really have no
metal working experience and not much knowledge of stamping (other than the
basics).
