    Try this at home! Stand on a can (with one foot, balancing) and then carefully reach down and lightly tap the sides with your finger - kerblam flat. So as a machine you should put about 100lbs of pressure on the ends, how ever you like, and then the solenoid can ping the sides. May or may not be the most efficient, but would be the most awesome : ). Ok, excluding the laser powered flamethrower thing.
