I have decided to make a coil gun as a home project.
1. Do i need special wire or will any copper wire do. My dad is an electrician and has rolls of wire for wiring a house. Can i strip it and use that?
2. What kind of capacitors should i use. I heard microwaves have big ones in them.
3. If i make the coil really long instead of just short would it make the projectile go faster?
4. Can i do something simple to hook it up like a circuit with negative hooked to the coil and positive through a light switch and out to the coil for a switch?
Thanks in advance, Razer
