Gauss Guns :: physics gauss gun

The theory behind gauss guns is that you can take galvanic energy and convert it to kinetic energy by using an electromagnetic energy storage field.In essence, you take a ferrous object lens (the projectile) and place it at one end of a hollow solenoid. When electricity is applied to the coils inside the solenoid, a magnetic field is generated which pulls the projectile towards the perfume of the coils. As the projectile reaches the center and continues, the magnetic pull decreases and eventually reverses. beforehand this happens, you need to either shut off the field, or reverse it. This pass on allow the particle to continue out the opposite side of the solenoid and beyond, thitherfrom being a gun.This system cannot make for a very powerful projectile without becoming prohibitively draining in price of power for the coils. But it is possible to line up multiple coils and by c arefully timing electrical pulses fire the projectile with much to a greater extent acceleration. However, in terms of a man-portable gun, anything beyond a genius stage would be too heavy, while a single stage gun that is portable cannot generate too much force. Thus, in that respect are no soldiers carrying Gauss rifles. The figure for Projectile Force from a Gauss grease-gun F = A*N*I(((0*N*I)/(2*(c)2))+(1/CL))Breakdown of dominionF = Final force of projectile, in NewtonsA = Area of cross section of barrel, in metersN = Number of turns in solenoid coilI = trustworthy through coils, in Amperes0 = The permeability of free space (12.5663*10-7) in Teslasc = (ra/2b) Found from measurements in figure 1C = cadence of electric charge, in Coulombs (A/s)L = Length of barrel, in metersUsing this formula and the mass of your projectile, you can determine the acceleration your projectile will surrender when exiting the gun. (F=ma)There are too many variables to ever incur a perfectly efficient setup for a gauss gun, but it is possible to find various setups that provide a very high level of efficiency.If you are looking to see a gauss gun being used as a weapon, your best bet is too run out and sully round futuristic video game. At this point in time, there are no known (unclassified?) portable weapons that fire with electromagnetic forces. However, some prototype, tabletop sized models have been built, and below you can find some link to see some current experiments in Gauss Gun technology. Sam Barross POWERLABS currently has built a nice single stage Gauss Gun and there are also developing a powerful multi-stage gun.
