Coil Gun J.A.M.M. (Jason, Abe, Mark, and Max)
What is a coil gun? • A projectile accelerator • Electromagnet coils form a linear motor • There may be a series of coils, switched on an off in sequence
Coil Gun v. Rail gun • There is a distinction, duh • Unlike coil guns, rail guns pass current through the projectile by way of sliding contacts
Construction • Solenoid • Ferromagnetic object (projectile) • A large current • Current creates a magnetic field, which pulls the projectile to the center of the coil • Single stage • Multi Stage
The Importance of the Coil Gun • It is important for our project • Electromagnetic aircraft catapults • Tomahawk missiles • Tank active defense system • Cool beans
This is the final slide… • Any questions? • Any concerns? • Any comments? • Good • Enjoy your day :-)
