Powerful COILGUN I Magnetic Games

This is a completely analogue coilgun,
generally the ignition timing of the coilis
electronically regulated to be precise and
performing, I wanted to experiment with
a fuse system that allows you to obtain a
similar result
The fuse system is more spectacular
but very dificuit to calibrate. The goal is
to have the coil generate the magnetic
field for only a fraction of a second, only
until the projectile reaches the center of
the coil. When the projectile reaches the
center of the coil the magnetic field must cancel out to allow the projectile to exit at
maximum speed.
Optimizing this system cost me a lot of
time in testing each component of the
experiment such as:
1) the distance of the projectile from
the coil (for this reason the graduated
barrels).
2) the dimensions of the fuse made with
aluminum foil (6mm wide for the ball
throw and 8mm for the pointed projectile)
3) the power delivered by the capacitors
initially ! woUl0 NE ERres but having
would have liked to put 4 63V
0.1F capacitors in series but
achieved a rather scary result with only 2
capacitors or preferred not to add others
Obviously changing one of the
aforementioned parameters slightly
forced me to recalibrate the other 2
1thank my friend Ferdinando for the help
he gave me in carrying out this experiment
About Magnetic Games;
All ways to have fun with magnets
The magnetism has always intrigued
me. The strength of the magnets is
scientifically explainable but there's
something '" magical" about its interaction
with the world. My Channel offers you
curious experiments and fun games to do
with magnets
