Building a coil gunfastbike says... I might want to build a small coil gun.Later on, when I have the money, I'd very much like to build a humongous one, but it'll have to wait Anyway, if I got this right I need: Capacitors Power supply to charge them Wire A tube for the barrel Steel rods or balls to shoot And probably a SCR to discharge the capacitors into the coil, because a normal switch would, I imagine, fuse itself shut (this I learned from my recent thread about welders). Since it'd be a small one-coil gun I wouldn't need timing circuits to energize the coils in sequence. Am I missing anything? Any recommendations? punkais says... shady_abdelwahed says... yep, the 'search' function of this forum! It's a pretty hot topic and covered in many guises. |
