in a railgun set-up, if the projectile got to the end of the rails and you reversed the current, would it go back again?

if you stopped it, and then reversed the current...?

i think the magnets on the rail are in a fixed position facing one way,

maybe if you engineered it so each magnet could swivel

The main question is why would you want it to go back in ?

 

If it came back at the same speed the projectile went out i think you would have a serious problem my friend :D
