Coilgun

Now I highly doubt that many of you are familiar with the name Louis Octave Fauchon-Villeplee. Quite to the contrary, I could bet that almost all of you know of, or have heard of, the futuristic weapon known by many names, a few being: Mass driver, electromagnetic canon, and most commonly “The Rail Gun.” Yes, I mean the advanced weapon system that utilizes electromagnetic forces to propel an object at speeds that can exceed Mach 7 (5,328.45 mph.). But, this French-man from the 1860’s and this futuristic

Speed of a Projectile Propelled by a Solenoid Student: Octavio Alonso Cuesta De La Rosa Consultant: Evan Simmers Supervising teacher: Kent Hogan Assessor: Write your aim, need or opportunity, with an explanation of why it was worth achieving: My aim was to calculate the velocity of a ferrous projectile propelled by a solenoid. Originally I planned to build my own coil gun and use it for testing, but as time grew shorter and hardly any progress was made on the project

and the distance the projectile travelled. Therefore the more coils the further the projectiles will travel (cm). Prediction: As more coils are wrapped around the gun, the distance of the projectile will increase. Literature Review: Coil gun A coilgun (aka gun Gauss, Gauss Gauss cannon or rifle) is a type of gun that uses a series of electromagnets for magnetically accelerate a projectile at high speed. The name "Gauss gun" comes from Carl Friedrich Gauss, who formulated the mathematical proofs

Rail Away “I greatly prefer a world where all sides ware armed with shields to a world where all sides are armed with swords and no shields.” - Dr. Edward Teller For several years many advances in technology and human living have come from necessity, and that necessity comes from periods of war. We have built tanks and guns and planes and bombs to increase our chances of winning battles, and sparing as many of our lives and destroying as many of their lives as possible. Through such

Introduction To Maglev Technology And Application 1.1 Principle of Maglev System Maglev is a system in which the vehicle runs levitated from the guideway (corresponding to the rail tracks of conventional railways) by using electromagnetic forces between superconducting magnets on board the vehicle and coils on the ground. The following is a general explanation of the principle of Maglev. fig. 1.1 1.1.1 Magnetic Levitation The "8" figured levitation

Abstract This report contains an account of my final year project, which was carried out in the two and half year of the Electronic and Electrical of Engineering (EEE) diploma at Institut Teknologi dan Pengurusan Lebuh Victoria. This paper is based on the design and analysis of Heat Sensor with water pump system using cooling fan to reduce the temperature. This project was done to see the operation of heat sensor and how the water pump system and the cooling fan work. This project is divided into
