coil running of car battery(s)?

I'm trying to find out how I can go about making a small coil that could 
run off one or two car batteries.  Has anyone done this?  I would guess I 
need an inverter to go from DC>AC, but that's fine.  Just wondering if 
anyone has any plans made up for this already, which I could look at.

This is for a university project which has to be demonstrated but, they 
want us to have CSA approval of anything plugged into the wall.  That means 
that I will probably not be able to make a regular style coil running off 
of wall power.

I've searched around the net a bit but haven't found a whole lot of 
information on this subject, and not much on the list archives that I could 
find.

Thanks,
Devon.
