Lorentz force question


Recommended Posts

i have attached a picture attempting to show you some detail.

in the picture it depicts wire configurations to exploit the lorentz force on a current carrying conductor so the force vectors on part of each current loop are up.

ive been attempting to use current loops to get this to work, but its not much more than a rail gun...

the question i have is: aside from the rails repelling each other in a rail gun perpendicular to the armature vector, is there any reason the armature cannot be welded to the rails and enough power applied to force the whole contraption off the ground; and not shoot off like a bullet?
