    • @daringdarius5686

      There is a reason we use rail guns rather than coil guns, and why we research those instead.
      Railguns are simpler to build, easier to maintain, more accurate due to just the projectile being on rails rather than floating and running through coils, and rail guns are more powerful by concept.
      The only difference is it's easier to make small scale coil guns over small scale rail guns, not to mention small scale versions of these guns just simply aren't worth building as realistically, it'll just be a pea shooter, a nerfgun essentially. You can only get so much power out of a hand held coil gun, a rail gun might be strong enough to kill a man, but you are likely carrying around a 60+ lbs gun, something heavier and bulkier than an RPG, just so you can fire a single bullet and destroy your own gun.
      It's just cheaper and better to just pull out a hand gun and go "bang bang bang!"
      Lastly, this "experiment" has been doing many, many times. If anything, at this point it's more of a very advanced and complicated lab exercise, where the concept isn't complicated, but merely the regulation and timing of the electricity between each coil.
      The video he showed of a gun trying to make a peashooter coil gun himself, is a very amazing Electrical Engineer on TH-cam who does these sorts of things for fun.
      So, unfortunately, there is no need for this experiment to be done or needed. There are Universities who do take on many gun-related project. I believe about 1-2 years ago, A&M had a group who did a research project on accelerating the speed of a projectile (bullet launched from gun) and they were successfully able to break the recordm. If the group/University is able to successfully patent their success, and then offer it to gun manufacturers at a royalty of $0.01 per bullet sold made with this technique, they would likely already all be millionaires.
      Fast bullets are immensely important for many reasons: aircraft taking on other aircraft, snipers having an easier time picking off ranged targets, anti-air craft/missile turrets based on land, etc.
      Running an exercise with the fully automates turrets meant to shoot down incoming missile, probably burn around 500-5,000 rounds in 6 seconds bursting down incoming projectiles.
      Those turrets themselves would likely go through around 50,000 rounds a year, each, and there are quite a few of them in existence (on boats, on bases, in deployment areas, etc).
      Not to mention that group probably has a guaranteed job at places like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon.

    Some ideas I thought of when I worked on my theoretic design:
    - using sensing coils that would be wrapped around the middle of the acceleration coils that can track when the bullet passes the middle of each coil (rather than using less efficient infrared light barrier solutions)
    - using an H bridge to control each coil, once the bullet passed the middle of the coil a reverse current can be applied to further accelerate the bullet

    • @dansimek6790

    Your circuit board may be a weak link that can be replaced entirely. Solder components between wires directly and wrap them in an insulator, then fix them to parts of a container far enough apart to prevent arcing. A future design could involve high power boards for reliability and form, but prototyping for function first can help reach the goal fast

    Wouldnt it be helpful to say, use a pre accelerator like an airsoft rifle and ferrous balls(6mm bearings) ? Or spin launcher.
    Then the Mag accelerator as the high energy booster? Ps its not a firearm if its a hole punching device, or object accelerator, or small scale transport prototype.
    Think out of the box to get funding. Dual use. A hammer can drive nails or smash folks. Its a bit harder to get funding for a finger smasher then it is for a kinetic impact derived, fastener driving device. AKA 2023>>> Ergonomic Titanium framing hammer.

    Fuck what MIT says, Raytheon will buy and hire you onboard, make more money too!
    I always wanted an Draco Rail-Gun that can shoot fully-auto while sliding on Cyber-opps in my hover Hellcat.

    Arguably this project could be repurposed into ground-to-air propulsion methods, Ie space flight and satellite launch

    Sorry. I have a dumb question. - what does rejected 2026 means? Should we submit applications 3 years in advance ? I thought MIT applications are yearly, so you need to apply the preceding year to get into autumn next year. Please correct me. What years you need to get these maker portfolio ready for admission ?

    • @matthewnutt3280
      @matthewnutt3280  ปีที่แล้ว +22

      You're right, the maker portfolio is submitted around the same time as the regular-action application, for admission for the proceeding fall semester. By 2026, I meant that I was applying for the *class* of 2026; that is, had I been admitted, I would have graduated in 2026. Sorry for the confusion!

    Make the traces on the circuit board even bigger, these looked like 4-6mm traces. You can go up to 1mm
