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.
Within a year, the founders established the company and offered their first coilgun, the EMG-01A for sale, and in 2020 filed a patent on the power supply that would later become the core of the GR-1. In 2022 they released an iteration on their technology the EMG-02 coilgun which was able to fire with higher energy, and which used commercial ...

[1] In almost all coilgun configurations, the coils and the gun barrel are arranged on a common axis.
