Pulsed Power System with Railgun Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a model of a railxun is developed and ~ used to illustrate a d&harge event on an energy storage capacitor. This rallgun model is designed to operate at a power level compatible with the Naval Combat Survivability testbed. The rallgun simulation model is Incorporated Into the NCS pulsed power charging circuit models. Simulations are perfonned showing the charglnx circuits charging the energy storage capacitor.

The goal of the Cannon Caliber Program is to drive 185 g integrated launch packages to 1,850 d s . Three, fiveround salvos with a firing rate of 5 Hz are intended to defeat specified targets at a range of up to 3 km. After an extensive alternative study, the design team consisting of United Defence FMC/BMY, the Center for Electromechanics at The University of Texas at Austin (CEM-UT) and Kaman ...

Railguns promise to make space travel and weapons systems much more efficient for the future. I conducted a project to skim the surface of railgun physics and design. I first started by constructing a small railgun as a proof-of-concept. I then delved deeper into the physics of operation by measuring and modeling the magnetic field associated with the operation of the device. The model railgun ...
متن کاملInhomogeneous Effects of Temperature Change on the Velocity of Railgun in Three Dimensional Condition
In the Railgun which is used to accelerate objects, electrical energy is used to drive the system. In order to reach hypervelocities, a power supply with immense amount of energy must be used which causes an extra ordinary current on the rail and the armature. This current makes thermal energy by the ohmic attenuation and warms up various points and therefore changes the electrical, thermal and...

Launch to Space With an Electromagnetic Railgun
Many advances in electromagnetic (EM) railgun and power supply technology have been made in recent years. Laboratory experiments with railguns have demonstrated muzzle velocities of 2–3 km/s and muzzle energies 8 MJ. The extension of this technology to the muzzle velocities ( 7500 m/s) and energies ( 10 GJ) needed for the direct launch of payloads into orbit is very challenging, but may not be ...
