I've been trying to see what a magnetic can do for expulsion of water/steam.
This is with Ali wire at 95uF 1kV

The video is hard to make out, but it looks like in the centre ,molten metal is moving away.

F =I*l*B
If current is 200A the length 0.05m and the Tesla 0.12 ,it works out at 1.2N of force.
The thing with wire, I can have multiple wires, with salt water its just one channel.

I have two magnetic separated with the wire going through. Fired it ,it is leaving 440V with the same polarity as the capacitor bank, I think its harder to form a plasma/melted channel. Blow the reverse diodes on the bank, I'll try 47ohm resistor to limit it to 6ish amps.

Upgraded the capacitor bank to 110uF and added 2ohm resistance which will limit the current to 500A, its dropped the reaction of the wire melting it must have been 1-2kA before.
I plan to get a blender and put tin foil and water to make fine powder and mix that with salt water.
The reaction of the wire moving isn't notable the magnetic themselves don't move.

Ran some test with thicker wire, when firing it moves about 5-10mm before bouncing back some what due to reverse voltage. I fried the diodes that were used to stop that, I'm going to put 250ohm five 50ohm wirewound to limit current to 4A.
The pulse duration is about 200uS, longer pulses should help, as well as some Neo magnetic which should triple the current force.
When the pulse length Reach's 1mS I'll parrellel a second wire with its own 2ohm and Scr.
I'm planning on using thin wire to melt, but not so quickly as to not impart force.
