How could you get multiple bursts of high voltage electrical energy?
Could i get lots of volts into a electromagnet in quick bursts such as 50 a second?
How would i do this?
My initial thought is caps but they take to long to charge.
I would also like to include a micro-controller to get an exact number of bursts.
I am looking to make a strong electromagnet turn on and off rapidly

If your mains frequency is 50 hZ., all you need is a suitable electromagnet and a 1/2 wave rectifier that can withstand the reverse voltage peak.
I just can't imagine what you are wanting to do so for!
Your problem will be a "strong" electromagnet will have a lot of windings. It will also have a magnetic core.
Thus when you try to turn it on and off rapidly, the magnetic buildup will be slowed down when switched on, and will not "release" that magnetism quickly. The magnetic field will be RELUCTANT to comply with your desires. It's more likely to remain magnetised, and just vary slightly in sympathy with the excitation current.

What is your target?
If you think capacitors are long to charge, inductors are worse!
How many is lots of volts? kilo? mega? giga?
Hope this properly answers your question
