3 Stage Coil Gun
Self Defenestrate, Sun Nov 12 2006, 06:11PM
Well, I've just started to gather parts for a 3 stage gun, just wanted to show off my awesome cap bank making skills and massive bolt scr's. I'm still working on the second and third stage triggers, and waiting for some teflon tubing for my barrel, so it shouldnt be too long before completion.

wow, those are some big SCR's... At first I though those were your coils
Last one to 100m/s is a rotton egg

so did I when I first looked at it
I thought "that must take some serious lining up"
I'll have to get my old coilgun working again...

Hehe, yeah. Today, whilst chatting away in my physics class, got onto the topic of my coilgun with the classes student teacher (Grad student, Stanford), and got him interested on the project too. He wanted to help out, and offered to check out a set of photogates and such so we can get some real accurate measurements when its completed. More to come..
