Optimisation of Energy Transfer in Reluctance Coil Guns: Application to Soccer Ball Launchers

Reluctance coil guns are electromagnetic launchers having a good ratio of energy transmitted to actuator volume, making them a good choice for propelling objects with a limited actuator space. In this paper, we focus on an application, which is launching real size soccer balls with a size constraine...
