Simplified diagram of a multistage coilgun with three coils, a barrel, and a ferromagnetic projectile. A coilgun is a type of mass driver consisting of one or more coils used as electromagnets in the configuration of a linear motor that accelerate a ferromagnetic or conducting projectile to high velocity. [1]
A railgun or rail gun, sometimes referred to as a rail cannon, is a linear motor device, typically designed as a 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 ]
The Arcflash Labs EMG-01A. The EMG-01 uses a six-cell 25.2 volt lithium-ion polymer battery to supply up to 2000 watts of power to ten electrolytic capacitors. [1] Unlike many coilguns, the EMG-01 operates at low voltage and does not use an inverter or capacitor charging system, which allows the system to charge in under 1/10th of a second.
The GR-1 uses a clamped quasi-resonant (CQR) step-up inverter described in U.S. Patent 10,811,995, [1] which allows a six-cell 25.2 volt lithium-ion polymer battery to supply up to 1000 watts of power to eight high-voltage electrolytic capacitors in approximately three seconds. [2]
The Electro-Magnetic Laboratory Rail Gun is a long-range naval weapon that fires projectiles using electricity instead of chemical propellants. Magnetic fields created by high electrical currents accelerate a sliding metal conductor, or armature, between two rails to launch projectiles at 4,500 mph to 5,600 mph. Electricity generated by the ...
An electromagnetic coil is an electrical conductor such as a wire in the shape of a coil (spiral or helix). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Electromagnetic coils are used in electrical engineering , in applications where electric currents interact with magnetic fields , in devices such as electric motors , generators , inductors , electromagnets , transformers ...
The E-Shotgun, also referred to as the E-Gun, Northshore Sports Club CA-09, [1] [2] or the PD-90 Advanced Coilgun, is a hand-held automatic 9-stage coilgun designed by Lei Fengqiao and manufactured by China North Industries Group Corp [3] in Xicheng District, Beijing, China (as well as "other technology teams"). In 2023, the CS/LW21 was ...
In 2018, the company developed and sold the first commercially viable electromagnetic accelerator, the EMG-01A, [2] and in 2021 released the GR-1 "Anvil", [3] the first coilgun with comparable energy to a firearm.
