>>11566251Basically uses the magnetic properties created through pic related, paired with the build up of a current between coils the same way old air capacitors held electrostatic current. OP is a massive faggot and just talking about a RAIL gun. Problem is he's only really done EE and AP (if that's what I think it is and means Applied Physics) and he's kind of full of himself. For a force transfer through any type of object you want the least amount of physical material the force to travel through, especially under a constraint of maximum impulse. A rail gun uses coils and the projectile as the core; OP wants the projectile to be shoved by a longitudinal rod. Too bad he's a complete imbecile and can't seem to figure out that at the forces needed to propel just a couple of grams a 1000 or more feet per second, the force acting on the materials would absorb most of the force created, meaning your attrition rate is even higher than on a shit rail gun by the US Navy. Fuck, we're not even talking about the resonant frequency of the materials themselves and the subsequent losses in force translation, path of projectile, mismatched force curves... OP are you 1st year student? I really believe so -- go fawn over climate change or whatever it is
