[@user-even-duller-brain]

Sir when you said railgun i now got confused...can i ask why you said railgun?

[@andrew32155]

​@user-even-duller-brain because, it's common for people to confuse anything that "Launches a projectile with electromagnetisim" for a "railgun." I think "railgun" is a more popular word because of its military connotations. And the word somehow subjectively sounds "tougher" than "coilgun." Obviously, in a railgun, the projectile actually shorts current between the rail, and Lorentz forces and the incredibly violent arc propel the projectile. Where a coilgun is essentially a toroidal electromagnet, forming a solenoid with a free moving core, and ideally, current ceases before the coil tries to pull the solenoid-core/projectile back in. It is a lot like how the Doom video game created generations of people thinking that an electrically driven multi-barrel rotary machinegun, a "Gatling" is called a "Chain Gun." Perhaps because they think the barrels fire sequentially in a chain. When an actual "Chain Gun" is something like the Bushmaster line of medium caliber (somewhere around 20-30mm) automatic cannons, like found on the US Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle or the chin turret of an AH-64 Apache helicopter. And the Bushmaster is called a Chain Gun because the bolt & feed mechanism is literally formed & connected and driven like a few enormous links of a bicycle or motorcycle drive-chain. And "Chain Gun" just tries to become a more universal term, because it sounds "tough." Maybe like "beating on something with a heavy chain." 🤔

[@rashalghul007]

Adding some rifling in the bore and fins for the projectile would up the game 😌

[@andrew32155]

It's a fascinating topic to discuss, because so mamy mechanical & physics principles are involved. Rifling a coilgun would have a good chance to get the projectile stuck in the bore, at least not without an enormous amount of force. And one coil alone is inefficient, and cannot usually accelerate the projectile much faster on its own, no matter how big or powerful its made. One has to stage a sequence of coils, each one providing acceleration in perfect sequence & timing faster and faster, usually with digital electronics & LED's making "light gates" with a photo-sensor of some sort. In an actual gunpowder firearm, and the relatively soft copper & lead of the bullet actually press-fits itself into the rifling grooves. There are obviously .177 bb's that are steel, and those airguns are rifled, but it mainly works because the bb is so tiny and light. A bigger projectile from a coilgun wouldn't pick up much, if any spin that way. And the bore contact needed only slows the projectile down through friction, unlike an airgun or firearm, where that friction also provides a seal, and gets more work out of the expanding gas, which overcomes the friction in a useful trade-off. Fins and aerodynamic drag stabilization is a better idea, but still complicated. There's certainly a ton of 12 & 20ga non-spinning shotgun hunting slugs that work on the principle. However, with a coilgun, there's some limitations. You need ferrous metals for the projectile, or at least a significant amount, so the magnetic forces in the coil will make it will move. This means you need a longer projectile than a lead one to get the desired mass. And the longer rod-like projectile is better at being moved by the magnetic force in the coil too. The problem is getting useful fins on a projectile that cannot be wider than its body in the bore. Fins that taper within the diameter of the body can work, sort of like the elongated tip of a Phillips screwdriver, but unlike visibly protruding fins like a more traditional arrow or ricket shape, they do so poorly. Backwards flip-out "knife fins" like the tail of a little mini RPG grenade would work, but be insanely complex to make. It's possible to configure the coils and projectile to impart spin through magnetic forces along with the main driving force pulling the projectile forwards, but that's very difficult & complex too.

[@husseinwassim9812]

at 1:43 till 1:44 if u play the video using" , " key and "." key you can see the coil get tighter right when the spark happens and at 2:10 to 2:11 the coil guns moves back like it has recoil

[@J0ermungand]

I would've liked seeing you vary the thickness of the sacrificial aluminum strip. Could've optimized energy transfer to the projectile that way.

[@RickGrimes807]

[@J0ermungand]

@@RickGrimes807 because I don't have a bank of supercapacitors and powersupply to do this

[@tempjadho]

Hi would you like to explain how you could do that.

[@LittleXtra]

​@@tempjadhoif the fuse burns before the coil is sufficiently charged it won't impart as much energy as it might have. A bigger fuse will take longer to burn so it will transfer more to the projectile. If the fuse burns too slow however, it will do the exact opposite and want to hold the bearing in the center of the coil and not slingshot it out.

[@andrew32155]

Hmmm... besides providing a useful current cutoff that stops the coil from trying to pull the projectile back in, I wonder if the explosive foil fuse... it provides a fast rise-time spike in voltage/current as well, that makes the coil more efficient? 🤔

[@DrMJT]

Make this with a ten metre diameter hole and the length of the coil in a circle with a diameter of at least 100km. A payload 'packet' could be accelerated around and around, sufficient number of times, until the packet payload had orbital velocity... It would be a very cheap, effective, efficient - method of launching things from Earth into Space. The circle of coils of wire built below ground with a divert tube at 45 degrees (use a mountain) to get more elevation. I have been describing this for decades but no one seems to be interested in the ability to launch many tonnes into orbit for just the cost of a little electric current!

[@MRNDESO-ps7bz]

😂😂😂👍👍👍👍

[@rokaq5163]

"A little" electric current which would be enough to power entire cities for a single launch doesn't seem very cost effective, even less so given the insane infrastructure needed to properly have it launched. You're pretty much describing an open-ended mass accelerator. Not particle accelerator, mind you, but MASS accelerator. Go take a peek at what the LHC cost and multiply that hundredfold, at least. It's just not viable, and this idea has been pitched before to no avail due to energy and budget constraints. Engineering is the art of adjusting to constraints and making the most of what's available. And that includes costs of all types, be it energetic or monetary.

Does the fuse have to burn to generate energy?

[@Eviel1n]

The fuse is there to quickly kill the electromagnet. When the projectectile is "behind" the coil and the magnet is activated, it's being accelerated in the correct direction - down the barrel. However, if the magnet were left on the whole time, as the projectile passed the center of the coil, it would start to be pulled backwards and ultimately stopped in the barrel rather than flying out and striking the target. You can see them demonstrate this at the beginning of the video. Switching is one of the issues with coilguns. Theoretically, they have some big advantages over railguns. In practice, however, the challenge of being able to quickly and precisely power up/down the sections of a multi-stage coilgun is a major headache that's limited their speed thus far.

They don't discharge instantly, and you should always use resistors. The fuse blows before they discharge. If it didn't, the bearing would sit in the center of the coil and go no where.
