Oct 20, 2015 · A basic railgun design will include a pair of parallel conducting rails that will accelerate a sliding armature when the electromagnetic current flows through one rail, into the armature and...

Nov 29, 2021 · The world’s first commercially available handheld railgun is now available for preorder. And according to the company selling the first of its kind portable electric cannon, the muzzle velocity and projectile power is comparable to many 22 caliber rifles.

A railgun or rail gun, sometimes referred to as a rail cannon, is a linear motor device, typically designed as a ranged weapon, that uses electromagnetic force to launch high-velocity projectiles. The projectile normally does not contain explosives, instead relying on the projectile's high kinetic energy to inflict damage. [ 2 ]

Aug 8, 2021 · It’s essentially a handheld electromagnetic rail gun capable of ” accelerating any ferromagnetic projectile (under 1/2″ in diameter) to 200+ fps, and can deliver up to 75 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.”

Dec 2, 2021 · The company claims that its GR-1 "Anvil" is the world’s first handheld Gauss Rifle, a type of weapon that uses electromagnetic coils to accelerate projectiles to extremely high velocities, also...

Oct 19, 2015 · Using a combination of 3D printing and widely available components, the man built a functioning handheld railgun that houses six capacitors and delivers more than 3,000 kilojoules of energy per...

Oct 4, 2021 · Railguns and coil/gauss guns are often confused but distinctly different, so just to be clear what we're talking about here. A coil gun has coils of wire that a strong current runs through to generate a strong magnetic field and launch a magnetic projectile.

Nov 3, 2022 · Rail guns use electrical power instead of chemical power to propel projectiles over long distances at hypersonic speeds. A linear motor device, this weapon typically uses electromagnetic force...

High speed projectile fired from a railgun. You have probably heard of railguns. They are commonly depicted as some kind of fancy high-tech gun that can shoot its bullets really, really fast.

Nov 7, 2021 · Scientific accuracy is something I care a lot about, particularly in the field of physics and engineering, Uzi's railgun actually kinda pissed me off because of that, so I drew this, a realistic railgun that's actually possible to build using 21st century technology.
