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

Схему в студию! Я тоже такой рельсотрон запилить хочу!

7,77KJ?? dude your crazyD:

@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 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!

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

@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

Very clean build. Nice.

@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

[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
