Electromagnetic accelerator

It shoots out steel objects size ranging from a needle through a space rocket. Speed is regulated by voltage increase.

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

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.

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

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

[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.

[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.

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

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