An Electromagnetic Circuit Design to Improve a Multi-Stage Coil-Gun’s Energy Conversion Efficiency

We present in this paper a method of improving a coil gun circuit’s energy efficiency and acceleration performance. Particularly, the improvement was performed by designing a solenoid coil and capacitance for projectile velocity enhancement in a multi-stage coil gun, based on simulations and experim...
