- Hello friends!
In this video I'll show how you can measure the speed and energy of a bullet fired from a coil-gun.
I compiled the coilgun model according to the attached circuit.
The main parts of an electromagnetic gun are a storage capacitor, a coil and a projectile.
When the capacitor is discharged to the coil, a magnetic field arises that accelerates the projectile.
To measure the speed and energy of the bullet, I made several measurements that I entered into the calculator.
That's how I measured the distance from the coil to the target.
The core of the bullet I made of mild steel and attached to it the tip and stabilizer.
I weighed the bullet on the scale.
To measure the flight time of the bullet, I connected two sensors to the Audacity free program.
I put the inductive sensor near to the Gauss Gan coil, and the piezoelectric sensor attached to the target.
As a result, I got the value of the speed and energy of the bullet, as well as the efficiency of the gun.

Calculation of the coilgun parameters
\\Projectile speed (m/s)
L=3
t =0,102
V=L/t ≈ 29,4
\\
\\
\\Kinetic energy of the bullet (J)
m=0,0237
T=m*V^2/2 ≈ 10,3
\\
\\
\\ The energy of the capacitor (J)
C=0,018
U=170
E=C*U^2/2 = 260,100
\\
\\
\\Efficiency (%)
h=T*100/E ≈ 3,9
I wishing you successful projects and creative inspiration!

how genious! sensors using mic jack! I love that more than the coilgun.
I was so confused on why I saw audacity open but dang that just blew my mind
I use mic jack and Audacity as osciloscope.
I use this method to determine the distance to the lightning during a thunderstorm.
That has so many uses...

This is the future! Can you do more on this subject? How's it work? How to build one? Different ideas?
Great job on the coil gun.
When I was in College, there was a someone who made a magnetic gun with 6 coils. As the projectile passed through one coil, a light sensor detected the projectile has left the coil and would energize the next and so on. Serious projectile speed
Excellent video. Very clever audacity trick.
NightHawkInLight dope to see you on small channels like this

Focak, get real. He's here to get ideas about ripping off someone else's videos. Wait and see. Same video theme on his channel soon.
@ I watched... I waited... he has not made a similar themed video yet. Is it not OK for big TH-camrs to support smaller TH-camrs??
@@callanbrain8579 I called him out on this one, so of course he wont do it now.
you are amazing,with electromagnetic magnets, i am sure you left something out for us to figure out on our own good for you man.
luv the cool jazz playing in the background
Absolutely brilliant idea with these sensors!!! Thanks for sharing

Sorry for my words. Your project was marvellous. That beep ruined my morning.
Wow, an unseen design, very beautiful
GREAT SCOTT !
Maybe a "flux capacitor" would push it through the can.
@@fruitfulman3115 Ha,..Biff would steal the idea, then try to shoot Doc. Brown in the back with it.
Congrats for taking some basic measurements. Most people who build EMGs and the like do not instrument them at all, and thus have no idea how well their project is actually performing.
While this is neat and fun, remember that your total force is divided by the mass of the projectile squared, and also remember that you should have your field as close to the projectile as possible, so perhaps try a smaller projectile, (BB?) and/or smaller barrel. Aside from this, excellent job.
v=2*L/t - the length of the barrel inside coil , t- time of passing through coil, the second method of of calculation. Presented method is good , the projectile moves in uniform motion after leaving the barrel and the distance from coil is much greater than length of coil . Very good idea with Audacity implementing. In professional solutions capacitor voltage reaches several kV.
Pretty cool. It's interesting to note that by conservation of energy the amount of kinetic energy attained by the projectile is slightly less than the kinetic energy of the hammer.
Wow
A genius
, I really enjoyed watching this video
You could also confirm your velocity measurement by calculation from the difference in height from the gun to where the projectile strikes, knowing how far the gun is from the target. It is the ballistics problem from elementary mechanics (physics.)
I've been nursing an idea to build a rail gun, and a method to measure speed as a side project. Had a similar idea but was thinking to use light instead of sound.
I did a variant with a T shirt cannon to find velocity. Air was the propellant, so a small magnet was placed inside the shirt, and 2 coils where placed along the barrel, 1 foot apart and connected in series. This was fed to audacity. The magnet crossing the center of the coils resulted in a pair of S curves. Time from the zero crossings was the travel time between coils. We were running just over 500 FPS.
great experiment!
Amazing video
superb!!!! Thats so Awesome
Something like a Rail gun - all Dc powered , nice video thanks
Very cool. Beautiful jazz to a korny tune, but love it.
Great video! Always wondered how easy it would be to construct one rail gun at home with surplus junk. Real cool!
Regidor Delarosa not a rail gun chief
He uses sound difference to calculate speed. Thats a pretty accurate and precise method.
Excellent !
Thank you so much this is awesome
Cool experiment
Great work! I used to use Audacity to measure shutter speed of vintage film camera.
I hope that you use a photodiode for this.
Amazing!!!
Great video!
i often do these metric on my fecal matters, size of coil, time until hits the water, the amount of splash it does... very precise shiet
Twenty years ago I did a presentation on how the future of infantry wepons would be very similar to this.
I used a 9v battery a plastic straw, copper wire and insulation tape and a 6" nail
I was at the time laughed at but I took it in good humour.
I still believe that the technology is sound and viable for various applications.
Thanks.
Railgun and other magnetic guns was a future weapons. EMP
Yeah. The nail just got smaller and smaller to the point with modern technology; your just shooting atoms and energy waves at folks. 😂
Awesome Sir.
Отличный. Канал. Было очень интересно смотреть ! Лайк и подписка!

It's great how you measured the time with audacity
Great video, please keep up the good work.
Good video!
Nice video...The hard part is winding a perfect coil....
Really clever you show a lot of ability. In real life these will be designed not for shooting at tins, but at tin cans; the old slang for destroyers (warships)
Nice
Damn that's really good grouping you at the same hole three different times are three different holes
nice
THANK YOU FOR KNOWLEDGE VERY VERY GOOD IDEA
Nice one
Looks good
buenisimo saludos desde venezuela
note that turbulence/drag occurs, at the un-contoured step; where the stab begins.
That’s impressive.
Nice project
Breathtakingly smart. This is goning to entirely transform my ideas for algorithmic coil timing optimization.
:)
There is a link for advanced users in the description.
Some twisted sabot railing could put a spin on that thing like rifling. Maybe add some stability.
most completed video i ever seen!! amazing dude.. and nice intro, witch program are you used?
Brilliant
Wow, ultimate ❤️👌🏻❤️
It is desirable to lower the weight of the bullet (aperture in bullet) to 8-10 grams in order to increase speed . Increasing the voltage has significant influence on energy in bullet according to formula: Energy= U*U*C/2
No.....the energy is contained in the mass of the bullet.....the heavier the bullet and the faster it goes the more hitting force it exerts on the target and the longer distance it travels.........if it was made out of paper or aluminium it wouldn't go vey far.
dont forget efficency home made coils make around 5% of it...
Colpo pulito,silenziato, il colpo con inquina, semplice ma letale. Ideale per la caccia
Awesome
Robot voice and Christmas music in the background... Also you used a tape measure to measure the distance to the target... I saw you... You can't fool me
What?
hmm
i saw too,lol
Cool
your voice is Excellent
The music of La Capital, its amazing
would be interesting to see how much kinetic energy was transferred based on different weights of projectile and amount of energy used to push it. or a work up of mass and energy to kinetic energy equation.

The greater the mass is, the greater will be the kinetic energy, although the speed shall be squared to be able to the outcome of the same effect, the same amount of energy.
So.........if you wrapped a coil around a bicycle pump you could get a pump gun with a barrel on the end of the pump..........the piston would try to go all the way into the pump barrel with just a magnetic pulse and so compress the air as it goes in, no need to stop it at the end......the compressed air would fire the bullet down the barrel on the end.
Amigo, esta pequena arma ficou com uma boa potência. Parabéns! Rio de Janeiro RJ Brasil

Seems like it would be a lot easier just to use a ballistic chronograph to get the projectile velocity, then calculate the kinetic energy based on the projectile's weight. Of course, given the very low velocity of your coilgun, you could probably get by with using an airsoft chrono rather than one intended for use with actual firearms, as the low velocity of your gun probably wouldn't register on one meant for real guns.
But of course, this way does seem more interesting, and it definitely allows you to learn more about physics than taking a shortcut witha chrono.
the next tony stark. very clever and creative
Wow, you’re on our side ... right? 👍
Well. Speed reacrion. 👍😎👏 🙀 privet brothers.
Excelente 🇩🇴🌎
perfect
Wow thats works 👍
Hello from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada!
nice info
genius man
If you add more coils, it become mor powerful? Or you need more current?
Good
The background music is not going with the stuff you are showing.
BTW, great work, appreciate that!
It makes the video unique
Dalam video diatas dapat saya pahami bahwasannya bagian utama dari senjata elektromagnetik adalah kapasitor penyimpanan, koil dan proyektil. Ketika kapasitor dilepaskan ke koil, medan magnet muncul yg mempercepat proyektil. Untuk mengukur kecepatan dan energi peluru, melakukan beberapa pengukuran yg dimasukkan ke dalam kalkulator. Kemudian, mengukur jarakdari koil ke target. Inti dari peluru yg terbuat dari baja ringan dan melekat padanya ujung dan stabilisator. Untuk mengukur waktu penerbangan peluru, menghubungkan dua sensor ke program Audacity. Lalu meletakkan sensor induktif di dekat koil Gauss Gan dan sensor piezoelektrik yg terpasang pada target. Hasilnya. mendapatkan nilai kecepatan dan energi peluru, serta efisiensi dari pistol. Terimakasih, videonya bermanfaat.
What is the Capacitance of the capacitor ? Please! I am kind of a noob, is a 22k uF good enough ? Or more..
I wonder how much a barrel with some rifling would effect this
Wow nice video.
Je l 'avais déjà imaginé 👍
electromagnetic with good work
Very very nice
托盘天平，讲究！
Smecher frate :)))))))
A good way to measure time shooting.

I,m feeling a door bell prank is comming up!
bravo 👏👏👏
the design is like a rail gun. the most powerful weapon in U.S.A
A railgun works a lot differently than a coil gun
If nothing else, this video taught me how to measure speed in a new and very interesting way!
How much velocity and energy it provided?
Cool-Good Video-You should see our Superconductive Rail Gun we made for SDI...
Shawn Boike I would like to see ot
Beeindruckend!
Very cool but you really didn't need all those caps in parallel did you, the amperage is limited by only 170V on a relatively high resistance coil.
The "Gauss" cannon is very powerful.😨
Does the coil's magnetism continue to pull on the projectile, even after it starts moving away from the coil, acting like a brake. It seems like one needs a very fast discharge current spike that drops off fast to prevent a long magnetic pulse width.
you can have an infrared sensor to cut off the capacitor emf¿
Eine richtig geile Railgun das ganze bitte in einem Pistolen Gehäuse und auf den Markt bringen
very clever. good way to make measurements and calculate. good ideas. inductive sensor to measure the start time and then especially how to measure the time of impact with the microphone. What language is that? do you use 120VAC in your country? I thought all of Europe is 230VAC. thanks for sharing.
In this circuit, a voltage of 220 Volts: th-cam.com/video/rJfk6FLiUVo/w-d-xo.html
language is Russian BTW... )))
