- How Rail Guns Work | HowStuffWorks
Using a magnetic field powered by electricity, a rail gun can accelerate a projectile up to 52,493 feet (16,000 meters) per second And while current Navy guns have a maximum range of 12 miles, rail guns can hit a target 250 miles away in six minutes
- Railguns: All you need to know about the weapon that uses . . .
Railguns are some of the most technologically advanced methods of lobbing heavy projectiles over a great distance They have a very high “muzzle velocity” and have been cited as
- U. S. Navy’s Railgun Is Nearly Dead in the Water | Navy Railgun
The U S Navy’s $500 million electromagnetic railgun—capable of slinging projectiles at hypersonic speeds—lacks funding and has no coherent plan to deploy on warships
- The Physics of the Railgun - WIRED
What about a railgun? This weapon can fire a projectile at tremendous speeds without even using an expanding gas But how does it work? Let's go over some of the basic principles for the
- Railgun - Physics Book
A railgun uses the principles of electromagnetics to create a weapon out of a conducting rod which is accelerated using the Lorentz Force in order to make the rod a projectile
- 5 Key Facts About Railguns Explained Simply
Discover what is a railgun, an electromagnetic projectile launcher propelling objects at incredible speeds using electrical energy and magnetic forces, leveraging advanced technologies like electromagnetic propulsion, kinetic energy, and high-velocity acceleration for potential applications in military, space exploration, and scientific research
- Railgun Weapon Systems - General Atomics
GA-EMS railgun weapon systems feature electromagnetic launchers that use electricity instead of chemical propellants to fire projectiles at high speeds The high muzzle velocity can be twice that of conventional guns leading to shorter engagement times, extended keep-out, and longer range
- How Does a Railgun Work? (The Ultimate Guide) - Buffalo Rifles
A railgun is a type of electromagnetic launcher that uses the electromagnetic force to accelerate a projectile to very high velocities The basic principle of a railgun is that two parallel conductors, called rails, are connected to a power source
