coilgun design

Featured Replies

Trying to make a coilgun with no switch is kinda dumb and I can't really read your writing.

 

You're lacking capacitors, a transformer (get it from an handheld bug zapper), battery holder, some switches, and an LED light (optional)

 

 

Just asking how old are you?

Well, i am trying to think ouside the box....all coilguns have electrical switch...so i think to put an mechanical switch and make projectail to be a coil.....main coil(on the tub) won't pull the projectile anymore, coil and projectile will work like 2 magnets repeal each other.......and if this will work you will no need capacitors or switch becouse, projectil when move act like a switch..........

Now I am thinking to make a continuous coil..........I meen.....long coil that is power on one portion........using a mechanical switch(projectile)....but this is a little more complicated:)

Sorry if I write someting wrong English is not my primer language.
