High power pneumatic switch
|
|
This is a high power switch which can be used to switch almost anything. It is designed to enable / shorting large capacitor banks for maximum energy transfer. Applications: Can Crusher, Disc Launcher, Rail Gun, etc. |
MV CoilMaster Mark1.5 Upgrade
|
|
The CoilMaster Mark1 Coil Gun has been upgraded to Mark 1.5, The fire rate is highly increased to roughly 1 shot per second. Now 2 x 1000W halogen tubes are used as charge resistor. The schematic has been altered to allow a higher charge current flow. |
Coil Gun FAQ
|
|
Due to the many questions I get regarding coil gun designs, I decided to create this Coil Gun FAQ. This article is mostly about single stage coil guns and will be under constant change. Questions and answers will be placed here and comments/suggestions are welcome. |
MV Speedometer
|
|
A speedometer specially designed for coilgun projectiles! To determine the speed of coilgun projectiles while experimenting, I usually counted the frames of my high speed camera while filming the projectile. Now using 2 optical sensors and a micro controller I can calculate the velocity and kinetic energy of the projectile and read it directly on the display. A large improvement! |
