Induction Launcher Demonstration and explanation

Hello All,

This is my first time post here in a long time. I had forgotten that was such a forum until searching around.

I have been messing around with induction launchers on and off over the last 10 years or. More lately.
Here is a video of demonstration and explanation of the most recent version.


Thoughts on improvement would be welcomed.


I hope this on topic as I said my first post

very nice, but looks also very dangerous, without protections!!!

Hi Paul.
I think the discharge current should be increased. To increase the current, the coil should be wound with a wire of a larger cross section. And for switching it is more efficient to use a thyristor.
