In the Torulf Greek animation the beam looks laser like, but it’s possible to slow it down and basically strip it, imparting the energy progressively to the coil as electricity without too much heat. Interesting…
I may be wrong, but it is my impression that solenoids are used almost ubiquitously, without noticeable heat issues. I’d have assumed that the resistance of the coil wiring is low enough to minimize that.
