7.77KJ 10mm RailGun

[1992nekitos]

Схему в студию! Я тоже такой рельсотрон запилить хочу!

[wasd55able]

опять Петрович сука хуйней занимается!

[killbielski]

7,77KJ?? dude your crazyD:

[DouglezAirsofter]

@IRNeuuub Velocity is not the key to everything. If you have a projectile moving at 9 bazillion FPS (pointless exaggeration), and it has almost no mass, then it will have very little impact force, and likely burn up in flight. However, if you have a ceramic-coated steel projectile moving at nearly the same velocity, shit will go down on the receiving end of the barrel. I, personally, just like what dima1902 made. Great work, man!

[Catvore]

Please upload the schematics for the 10mm Railgun on Instructibles. com. We'll be glad you did.

[SpecklePattern]

Very clean build. Nice.

[IRNeuuub]

@AwkwardWhaleFail

So yeah, I would call such a railgun a plasma armature railgun, seeing it is SPECIFICALLY designed for that..

There are other plasma armatures design, where the plasma cloud is "pushing" a solid non-conducting projectiles, those clearly are different.

As a side remark - no "force" can vaporise metal in the first place. High enough pressures can push metals into hyperplasticity state where they act as fluids (look up shaped charges). Vaporize however, no

[rocksparadox]

@IRNeuuub Not being able to vaporize a metal, hmm?

Wouldn't that also be depending on the density, temperature and chemical composition of the medium you are propelling your metal through?

:P

[whiterchocolate]

@IRNeuuub also look up i think it was explosive welding they use explosives to weld and to mix metals into different alloys very interesting

[IRNeuuub]

@AwkwardWhaleFail Not really man, they are SPECIFICALLY designed with a plasma armature in mind. Most of them use thin foil or wires, which turn into plasma as soon as the switch is closed. The resulting conducting cloud of plasma is then accelerated by the Lorentz forces acting on it. The pulse length is specifically tuned for the use of the said plasma armature - its small weight means a high velocity can be achieved, which means that the pulse has to be much much shorter

[SmokinJoeCamels]

Holy shit dude.

[southphilie]

that things pretty powerful my pellet gun wont go trough a computer casing

[southphilie]

i love these tpes of cool project post up on youtube even the rednecks with there trucks with three foot lifts and 50" tires get props

[Detoyato]

Lets put this to rest shall we? Insanely fast Objects traveling through air will cause the air to ionize like reentering the atmosphere. It is possible to achieve these speeds with a Railgun but certainly not this one. The Plasma ppl would see in small scale railguns is caused by electrical arcing through the projectile and rails. All in all I want to see Railguns that are practically sized and still impressively powerful.

[JelLoSnArK]

That thing is really epicly cool. Also, gotta love the bullet hole in the wall behind the cpu case. :D

[wicmercfrik]

bet your neighboors love it when high speed projectiles come flying out of your door!

[HumanityWins]

beware - it's the new underwear bomber

[EpRikjas56]

on teh noes there goes your door!

[SQron187]

You'd better not try this at home...

[Flayprime]

Obviously a smoothbore judging the grooves on the projectile. Attractive design!!

[Rundvelt]

Funny how a magnetic propulsion produces a cloud of smoke akin to a powder shot.

[daishi2442]

@Rundvelt Vaporizing particles on the projectile.

[death2148]

Now we CAN shoot Ice bullets! xD

[VortexProducer]

@death2148 Ice is not magnetic...

[HeeroTroaTres]

@VortexProducer if you put metal shavings or something in it then it will work though, right?

[VortexProducer]

@HeeroTroaTres not really.. needs to be a strong enough effect also metal sinks in water so.. you'd need to make like a jelly with layers of metal filings in it then freeze it.. maybe.. then it might work..

[OldSnakeKonovesis]

dude that amazin gun can u tell us how to make 1?

[viewman88]

да что ты можешь знать о России грязный америкашка

[jetforcebomber]

Judging by the door, i'd say you've missed a few times.

[killerapp52]

why did the recoil make the gun go down?

[DelphiPrg]

So, which one can reach more speed ? rail gun or coil gun ?

I'm going to make them bur i don't know which one is better .making coil gun i think

is easier that rail gun but i am not sure which one is more powerful ? can anyone

tell me ?

[OldSnakeKonovesis]

@DelphiPrg rail guns dude it has so speed that melts the "barrels" just awesome

[thomas997]

how far is it accurate to and what is the muzzle velocity of the gun?

[sup3rt0aster]

HO MY MOTHER FUCKING GOD! thats awesome!

[sgttaco1]

WOW! thats cool

[unknow5763]

is that a coil gun magnets powering on in unsion in order to fire or is it a railgun two strips of metal with a projectile completing the circut

ps studing advanced tech at collage

could you send me a blue print

[ThrowingItAway]

@unknow5763 It's a rail gun... wtf is up with people and not reading the clip title.....

[baileythedudeman57]

@ThrowingItAway yea but people get it confused sometimes

[ThrowingItAway]

I know, but seriously if you look you can see the rails.

[stickyresin]

Nevermind, i guess the smoke was just from friction or something.

[Nanovirus5995]

@stickyresin it was the metal projectile, flash boiling with the atmosphere. Sounds ridiculous but that's what all the other rail gun shots are. please correct me if im wrong though.

[stickyresin]

I dont get it. You're just using some magnetic effect to drive the firing pin to shoot a normal 10mm round?

[Aev308]

nice

[gaelicwinds]

try useing cobalt pellets all they are are cobalt rod pieces 1/4 inch long and 1/4 in diametre it will boost the speed dramaticly

[rimka11]

it looks like 77j :D lol

[Appsus]

Круто

[0lliehooper]

whats the big metal cylinder on the top for?

[KittyRokher]

Isn't electricity fascinating? One of my ultimate goals I have before I'm 30 is to make a Rail Rifle with a power supply attached to your back that will charge and fire it in order to kill someone! Then, I won't have to worry about a job, because the gov't might buy it off me! Yay! Oh, and very nice (and deadly) rail pistol.

[KittyRokher]

someones gonna make it, whether we like it or not. I might as well try. I dont care about my conscious.

[madjimms]

@KittyRokher Then you are a fool...

[KittyRokher]

Am I? I'm not advicating war, not by a long shot. War is a terrible, festering boil on our species. With it, we will never fufill our manifest destiny of concouering the stars. However, it will never end. And if war must be started to allow humanity's progress to continue, then I say we should build weapons all the better, so that we may get rid of these obstacles and continue to prosper. As Stalin once put it-

"The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of a million is a statistic."

[madjimms]

@KittyRokher Oh ok.  Sorry.

[KittyRokher]

lol

[lexmark136]

lol, tool.

bend over and accept my cock.

[Driv3th3hiv3]

I'de love to

[KittyRokher]

I'm not a tool, and I reject your cock and substitute it with my own.

[Henzzman]

Stalin also said: "No man - no problem."

[buzznandes]

@Henzzman

[MegamanX44]

electrical engineering at its deadliest

[fflump]

That could have been a really interesting video however it was just boring man, I was falling asleep, it's a shame because the subject matter was ace.

[ComandnConquerFreak]

lol that could kill some1 :D

[haggis357]

the poor computer D; lol

[Cacio90power]

good work!! did you try a multystage project???

[soaseMATTS]

lol if any army invaded his country, they would have one hell of an insurgency to fight lol

[ban0003]

i have 5 700,000 volt capasitors wats that in kj

[tuscan121]

Its nothing, capacitors arn't measured in volts, and they are just dead weight unless you charge them, look it up first ;)

[Driv3th3hiv3]

Over 9000 joules of bullshit!

[TechnicalFreak]

5/5 stars from me.. I mean, that is some serious build as I can see. And you seem to know what you are doing...

[320kenzi]

There is ability for casualties.

) that (7.77KJ is dangerous

[omlan]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT IMA GET ONE OF THOSE!

[blargmeansno]

Nice recharge time, the ones I've seen are around 45-60secs.

[flamedrag18]

nice!!!

[mrchuckles110]

i want one. lol

[imaqtlolz]

wow 7.7Kj. wow thats some srs power u got there

[MetroidfanCNC]

Hm, that's a pretty potent device this guy has. Though it would be nice if he put up a list of materials or more detailed specs.

[turkhax0r]

nice work :)

[jonomoox3]

lawl at 0:56 it looks like the gun was sneezing hahah

nice work

[defiythelie]

no it is the projectile turning into plasma

[TheMusicAvenger]

No, that muzzle flash is due to the projectile going too fast, overheating, and breaking apart.

Especially since he uses a projectile that isn't fully metal.

[Jimmyder2te]

A Railgun and Coil guns are working completly different....

The railgun uses the "Lorenz Force" and the projectil is accelerated by magnetic "whirlforces"

(Wiki answers better, sry for my bad English)

The coilgun uses simple magnetic forces.

One Magnet attracts the Projectil, and when it's close enough, it shuts up and the next magnet is activated....

And this gun looks like a coilgun, but I'm still not sure!!!

[djsonicc]

you're right

[mrkiky]

nope, it's a railgun, you can tell by the sparks.coilguns don't make sparks because the projectile usually slides on a non metallic barrel while the railgun projectile grinds against the rails..

[impavitus]

thats a rail gun. you can tell by the sparking when he fires it. rail guns arc when fired.

[italianguns]

simply amazing!  VERY GOOD JOB!

[Kernle32DLL]

0:58 yay, thats a recoil xD

[Jimmyder2te]

I'm not sure whether this is a railgun or a gauss gun

in my opinion it's a gauss gun!

Am I right?

[ace7912]

Those are the same, are they not?

[Tdog283]

read first. coil guns don't make sparks, they just accelerate the objects.

[XXXUnSungXXX]

Fools. The gun doesn't shoot plasma. No gun fires plasma projectiles. A railgun uses electromagnetic fields to propel projectiles at high speeds, a coilgun uses electromagnetically charged coils to pull an object and fires it. At least google something before you assume.

[conflict1991]

yay finaly someone with intelligence

[GlenKuhne]

Not entirely true.

A railgun with a high enough voltage can excite the projectile so much that it becomes a plasma. The plasma is still conductive, and accelerates due to the lorentz force as does a normal solid projectile.

[XXXUnSungXXX]

I'm inferring that no gun fires fully plasma projectiles. That is, a pure mass of plasma. The projectile fired is obviously a solid accelerated with magnetic rails/coils. Also, plasma isn't exactly solid, and would have a different effect on the metal; it would probably be melted.

[GlenKuhne]

Of course, i meant from a hypothetical point of view.

Btw, cool vid

[helloman1976]

@XXXUnSungXXX The effect of shooting any object at super high speeds is plasma so yes, these things do shoot plasma projectiles if they shoot at high enough speeds. Look up the Navy tests jackass.

[Altimicus]

@helloman1976 there's plasma as a side effect of the imperfections of the rail that create electrical ionization of the air (a small lightning), and plasma is nothing more than ionized matter, so at very high speeds plasma is not created, at very high temperatures (10000 kelvin) or very strong electrical fields it may happen... so... no... it don't shoot plasma... it shoot projectiles and as a side effect plasma if propelled, just like the a normal gun don't shoot powder...

[helloman1976]

@Altimicus The plasma is an effect of super heated air being compressed at high speeds in which the plasma envelopes the projectile, so yes it does shoot plasma. Also, "normal" guns do shoot powder and one of the primary forensic techniques of determining the distance of a close range or zero range shot is the amount of powder burns associated with the weapon as the projectile leaves the barrel. Everything that is launched causes damage and is therefore associated...

[TechMan5]

@helloman1976 Do you count the powder burn as being essential to the damage a gun causes? No? Then why count the plasma from a railgun? The plasma is NOT generated by high speeds or compression. The sun shoots out plasma jets because it is HOT. Pressure is a side effect of plasma rapidly expanding the air from heat. Concerning the navy test, Can't you see the projectile flies on ahead of the plasma? Are you gonna walk up to someone with that and shoot em with plasma?

[IRNeuuub]

@XXXUnSungXXX Never heard of railguns shooting plasma? Damn, at least google something before you assume :)

Seriously tho, pure plasma armatures hold the record for high speed by a huge margin. not much good other than scientific experiments of course

[randomnumber41]

so, how much kinetic energy does the projectile carry?

[AnselmoFanZero]

Thats what I meant Einstein....its probably a electro-thermal gun.

[sir8aeriosthethird]

the ultimate in home defence. just hope when u get robbed u have enuf caps.

[AnselmoFanZero]

No visible coil....plasma burst....dude...just watch and THINK before writing shit.

Awesome work btw!

[Tdog283]

Hello? Anyone in there? Clearly, its using plasma, as the sparks shot out from it are a type of plasma formed fy the electrical current.

[supersoviet8055]

What's the muzzle velocity of that thing? It's AWESOME!

[zebadee277]

i think you need to invest some time in a recoil damper

[IEatGlu]

Its a railgun, recoil dampers only work on gunpowder guns. TOTALLY different kind of firing system

[skyseeker901]

In theory, a recoil dampener would work , so long as it were the kind that moved the barrel back as the projectile moves forward. However, this would result in a loss of kinetic energy imparted into the projectile.

[First2ner]

LOL you shoot the door too :D

[cibot123]

wait is this a rail gun or a coil gun because with that round barrel it looks like there may be a coil in there but the with the sparks that says it a rail gun

[chillabaua]

its a railgun.

a coil gun doesn't spark

[docscot11]

aah dad's going to be mad

[asshol3434]

how do you kill some at the front door lol its asome its also dangerus lol XD cool

[Arnseb]

Dude! Cool!! xD

[cyanide444]

Do you have plan drawings for that? How can i build a railgun built to fire an explosive (500 g PETN) shell?

[N3m15i5]

Q: "How can i build a railgun built to fire an explosive (500 g PETN) shell?"

A: With extreme caution :D

[cyanide444]

I mean how big parts, power supply etc. :D

[N3m15i5]

Well, in that case, I'd have to know how heavy your shell is (I'm assuming that 0.5kg is the mass of the explosive itself), and how fast you want to get it going. Assuming a 1kg shell at, say, 200m/s, and that you can get 15% efficiency out of the thing, you'd need a 130kJ capacitor bank. With the best-priced (used) pulse capacitors I've ever seen, that would set you back at least $8k. I believe they were rated for 15kV and a 50kA max discharge each, so 15% efficiency may be a bit low...

[BackyardSkunkworks]

Hehe sweet.

[shredmaster999]

nice gun but to much recoil hehe

[AnselmoFanZero]

Cool!

[TeslaWasHere]

Needs thicker cables.
