Hi
I was wondering if anyone hs thought about using a magnetic bullet in a coil gun? I was thinking about it the other day and wondered if you could pulse the coils twice, the first pulse is the same as a normal non magnetic bullet coil gun pulse, cutting off before the fied reverses and you get suck back. The second would be when half of the bullet is out of the other end of the coil to give it another push?

I've never attempted to launch a magnetic projectile....if I can somehow shape one of my magnets into a round slug that'll fit my CG I'll give it a go.

i was thinking of more along the line of a slug shaped projectile. It would be relatively easy to turn one into a magnet by just stoking the slug with a hard magnet in on direction lots of times.

If your projectile can be magnetized that easy, what do you think will happen when it is placed in a magnetic field that is 1000 times stronger in the coil gun?

if you can magnitize your projectile with a strong magnet, what makes you think that your coil won't demagnetize or magnetize it the other way when you fire the coil gun.
These would seem to be your best bet Ebay # 160109966236 Large but powerfull 160110001500 small but cheap 250109710446 still a little large 110120399493 this seems to be a good size
Neodymium resists demagnetization but its brittle and light compare to other balistic materials. Keep in mind if you want to try somthing like how many of the magnets will be available for sale. It would be very regretable if you were to break your last magnet and find that you can't find more the same size.

hi iam new..... any way ive been doing tests with some thing simlar but instead of a magnetic bullet ive been useing a steel bb and crushed ceramic magnets pack down in the base of the barral, the disanct the bb tavals has gone from (my frist coil gun) about a foot to about 10 - 15 feet with no other ajustments to the gun but not evry shot is relable some times it take a few pules for it to fire

I used magnets from a old scsi hard drive on both sides of the coil and found that the efficiency increases. One explanation is that the field from the coil gets confined in the center of the coil by the external magnets.
