The rail gun is an electromagnetic device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy for accelerating the projectile to hypervelocity. In order to accelerate the projectile between the conducting rails, it uses the magnetic field generated by the rail current. The rail gun consists of two parallel conductors called the rails that are bridged by a non-ferromagnetic conductor called a...

The operating principle of electromagnetic rail gun by store capacitor was analyzed. A simulation model about the bullet velocity in the electromagnetic rail gun was built. The results of computer simulation experiment showed the relationships between the bullet velocity and the capacitor charging voltage and the pellet mass. By ten coil targets, a new kind of measuring method for the bullet ve...

This review paper reports various concepts of the gun propulsion system to meet the goal of the futuristic hypervelocity projectiles. The nonconventional concepts, such as liquid gun propellant, rail gun, coil gun, electrothermal gun, electrothermal chemical gun along with conventional energetic solid gun propellant have been discussed. Even though muzzle velocity around 2000 m/s has been claim...

A coil-gun uses pulsed currents of large magnitude to propel ferrous projectiles at high speeds. The various problems associated with high currents and magnetic fields are discussed, as well as the components and design of my experimental coil-gun. I tested the coil-gun at various charge voltages and different projectile sizes, then calculated the efficiency of the coil-gun with measured values...

The paper has the information about model and working of electromagnetic rail gun. basic idea study is Lorentz Principle applications this principle. can be translated as simple a loop which made from current carrying wire studying properties in an external magnetic field. Although applying on practical system its own difficulties necessities. These necessities are discussed paper. concept laun...
