MV CoilMaster Mark1 coilgun – Featured on Hacked Gadgets | Richard ...
After some experimenting at school we made a successful working coilgun with speeds up to 85 km/h, now this project is to make it more compact so you will be able to carry it around. Also more power and more speed!
The nozzle velocity is still very slow compared to a paintball marker or any other rifle, but the weight of the bullet makes sure it will still give quite a punch. (A paintball @ 300fps still only packs 15Joule)
It’s still a hobby project and not perfected in any other way than the looks:)
specs:
Fully semi-automatic, up to 14 shots. @quadstrike
Agree in the video above. But I’m referencing from his comment ~3 months ago. He said the projectiles were traveling 110.2 fps [or ~30.6 m/s]
So, it seems 20+ stages should be able to accelerate it to propellant powered rifle velocities. And considering his projectiles are about 4 times heavier than as .300mag rifle round :-S
Curious what velocity increase, if any, a projectile four time lighter would be.
Bust it or Confirm it
If your stage is only the length of the projectile, then you could put in many series of coil stages. If you’re using one stage and reaching 100fps. Then only 20 stages – it seems – would be needeed to achieve a normal rifle velocity. Though, as the projectile accelerates, I think you’d have to tweak timing circuits.
...CES gets underway
CES gets underwayConnected devices. 3D TV. And gadgets. Lots of gadgets. The 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show -- the world's largest showcase of electronic goods and gadets -- opens today in Las Vegas. What's hot this year? The question is really "what's not?" Because the industry seems to be moving in a million directions at once. If the press preview "CES Unveiled" is any indication, then we can look forward to a show full of connected devices: cell phones, set-top media boxes, home entertainment systems, televisions, computers. Everything seems to communicate with everything else to share every kind of content imaginable. It's far from past predictions of convergence -- the idea that everything would come together in your television. We've seen cell phones that communicate and connect with home security systems, and televisions that let you skype with friends. Logitech showed a nifty web cam that makes the latter enjoyable on your new flat-screen with 720 lines of resolution. In a web cam. D-Link, Seagate and a dozen other companies are showing set-top boxes capable of either storing your multimedia files, accessing them over your network, or accessing and playing back everything from Netflix movies to Hulu. One of the biggest wows however was for the 3D TVs. We saw one from Sensio, and a gorgeous 70-inch giant from Mitsubishi that might finally put 3D in your living room -- if the content becomes available (we can't wait to hear that FSD has 3-D cameras for Wings games, but we're not holding our breath, either). Stay tuned for more.
