How to make a railgun
By Ionela Mar 21st, 2009
To project a railgun you need:
-
1) capacitor bank - 18 400v 3900uf capacitor's in parallel. This comes out to 5600 joules. Make sure you stay above 300v, and below 600v.
2) aluminum busbars
3) 3 120uf 300v capacitors
4) 60A 600v diodes
5) cable's - 00 AWG
6) rails - copper bars
7) 2"x.5"x12" aluminum
8) projectiles. Make it close tolerance
9) A railgun enclosure
10) misc. support equipment
11) PVC for injector

how much is rail spaceing.ECT
how much is the spaceing on the rails,how big are the rails,is the circit parallel,what is your power source a wall outlet or a large battery pack do you use a transformer to increase power,the last two things is that do the capisitors over heat AND what do you shoot out of it oh sorry for another question but could send me a draw up or a disign plan via e-mail oh one last question how much is all the supplies for the rail gun
