Turn on the battery and the coil will collapse due the pinch. When it is small, it will touch the pin. The pin will work as a cathode and will discharge all the current of the coil in very small instant of time.

What do you think?

Is the z-axis pin connected to the toroidal coil? If not, does this mean that the toroidal coil distorts in order to connect tot he z-axis pin? Can you eplain this further, please?
