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 ...
Working independently, David M. Wirth developed the first hand-held railgun, the XPR-1 in 2015. [7] Shortly following this innovation, the two inventors partnered to form Arcflash Labs. [ 8 ] 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 ...
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]
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 ]
A magnetic weapon is one that uses magnetic fields to accelerate or stop projectiles, or to focus charged particle beams. There are many hypothesized magnetic weapons, such as the railgun and coilgun which accelerate a magnetic (in the case of railguns; non-magnetic) mass to a high velocity, or ion cannons and plasma cannons which focus and direct charged particles using magnetic fields.
