it wont be very entertaining, sorry. if you want to see some nice energy conversion from electric to mechanical... try Thomson disc guns, and ring launchers.
this thing wasnt very powerful, and the apple was frozen, all it really did was dent it... rail guns arent very practical, and most of the ones that actually do damage are pneumatically injected, which is where most of the power comes from. If I put these capacitors in parallel instead of series, there would have been more force.
I should have used parallel, but this is plasma armature / wire atomization... if it was parallel then it would have worked well with graphite projectiles and such without atomization. But yeah, dont do it in series like I did.
the railgun operates just with energy like the coilgun? sorry but i havent understood quite well the functioning of the RG

It's the same things than a coilgun but instead of a coil, energy pass through 2 metal plate. the projectil is between them

All that for a little hole in an apple? You guys must be pretty keen.

good luck
it probably took numerous teams of the best scientists and engineers in the world to design it.

so does it shoot a projectile or pure energy

projectile

hey,what are that for capacitors?they look quite huge^^

how could something shot "energy"?^^

@oomxD HOW DO I SHOT ENERGY?

@Casowsky Well you "shoot" energy if it is just radiation. Like light.

@devilluffe pure energy? wth man : DD

Why'd you put them in series?!
