Well, several hundred pounds of copper or one giant electric/magnetic field (which will be made of several hundred pounds of copper, just much less mobile copper). Leave your cellies and credit cards over there boys.
Lightning bolts would be cool too, but you lose like 10k volts per inch through the air so maybe not so practical.
