Electromagnetic accelerator

[sabreface10]

how was this made

[zachb657]

Hes using a dc power transforming that carrys 12 volts! It wont hurt anyone even though it is plugged in the wall the voltage has changed to a harmless level.

[goktug123123]

the formula is  F=K.u

[MrOverlord1000]

what voltage does your house have? 110-american or 240-european

[cornman96]

did you use a big ass capaciter of just plug it into the wall if u used a capaciter is it from an old tv

[jasonyoungisnumber1]

I'd like to see a larger picture of the electromagnet accelerator iron object drawing

[rroge5]

mulistage accelerator doesnt quite work like that ... it has to be sequence. youl find the multistage one wil offer less force.

[ur4n1um]

that is incorrect sire electro magnetism is relative to amperage not voltage !

[upperlupus1617]

he used AC current O.o

isn't that dangerous

[asianskater69]

woohoo rail guns

[realyoyoweb]

Just a mini coil gun

[eliasriano]

is 220 volts????

[pusemann2]

i learned that in 9 grade

[scarpati79]

wow bravissimo!

[buddyandskook]

lmfao the diagram bottom (F=k+u

[1354867]

man that thing is dangerous

[tylers911]

how far will it go on 120 volts?

[firedude201234]

it requires much more then that

i made one that had 350 volt s with 5 caps

[tangnatalaga]

Instead of using capacitors, he used household current. The household current is much more lethal than the bullet, thats a dangerous project.

[biodot88]

@tangnatalaga I don't see how you came to that conclusion that it was AC vs. DC. In fact the one wire sticking to the coil lead post spark makes me think it was a large capacitive discharge.

[tangnatalaga]

@biodot8 It does look like a capacitor discharge. I think that is even more dangerous because those capacitors can kick higher voltage at high current enough to probably kill a person.

[Miktor]

@tangnatalaga Don't forget that capacitors of the right size, or arranged in banks can be just as lethal, if not more!

[irok30278]

this seems to be a lot more powerful than most other coil guns I've seen. Nice work.

[blasius50]

bello

[robohobo9000]

lol people usually call it a coilgun or gauss gun not"Electromagnetic accelerator"

[SciriusDoomus]

That's what a coilgun is, just an electromagnetic accelerator made into a gun shape. Gauss was just a man who made theories about electromagnetic accelerations.

[skierplaterandy]

cool. but how does the multi stage thing work?

[princeofdarkness2050]

how do u make a gadget like that??

[hiltropper]

really cool

[speedstakerguy]

how many volts does this use?

[holycrapapie]

cool!

The tiny glowy balls are actually ball lightnings!

five stars

[swimskater101]

cool how did you make that

[angelwingzx]

a relay would do nice. u can get one for like $1

[Phlatpop]

nice, but your loosing alot of voltage by just touching the wire to the gun what you need to do is just buy a high voltage switch for like 2 bucks and then just hook it up

[TGAcodes]

awesome

[gonepishing]

SWITCH BUILD A SWITCH!

youre losing lots of enerhy by that method of switching, its also dangerous

[wartex8]

good call :)

[gonepishing]

after a time he'll shock himself or the ends of the wires will evaporate too

a good high-amp Relay is pricey though =(

all my 12V relays are unusable, they're just like a spark gap

[sb6lb3]

yo and also thicker wire, the thicker it is, the less ohms it has and the less area the elec. has to go thru. plus keep the number of turn also a little down

[Stainthatisred]

does anz1 have the blueprint for this?

[Pyrodregget]

And use a THICKER AND SHORTER projectile, as well as adding more turns on the coil!

Then it'll be much more efficient.

[mrkiky]

It doesn't look like a multi stage...but anyway, a lot of your energy is wasted on those huge sparks.You should get a proper switch, i think it'll be cleaner and more powerfull.
