      A railgun actually works differently.
      A railgun uses direct powered rails with no magnets.
      This is technically a gauss cannon

      For a linear motor like this you have to engage each coil ahead of what you are pushing and turn off each one behind. I have considered using manual means like switches. Or you can use the principle that an actual rail gun uses (electromagnetic "spin") but it generally eats the metal contactors (2 rails and the projectile that contacts the two.) And super high voltages to bridge the air-gap to compensate.

      After a certain point the electromagnets would be producing so much heat that they will melt the materials. Then you liquid cool the magnets, make the track longer, etc etc
      But the real speed limit is the air-frame, in this scenario, and the speed of light in general.

    In short, the propulsion from an electronic railway* is coming from a moving coil from point A to B. The magnets change polarization in correspondence to the position of the coil and that creates a repelling force that accelerates the coil.
    The faster the movement of the coil, the faster the magnets switch polarization

    You could enhance this design by creating a long S bend power cable that is connected to a power supply and directly to the sled instead of using brushes, using hall sensors it could fire itself with variable payloads without any adjustment and by skipping the brushes it will allow you to put insulation (Thin TPU shell for low friction).
    Add a magnetic brake at the end to stop the sled from flying away and breaking the electronics or ripping the power cable.

    easier to use a skeet launcher MUCH cheaper and just increase spring tension for larger drones

    Could you do loop with the tracks, and see if it becomes infinitely fast until self destruct, or would there be a limit if the size and speed variables dont coincide?

    Switch the perm and electromags to increase power input capability and lower friction. Essentially a brushless linear

    If we mad these for normal commercial planes, couldn’t we eseentially make a stronger plane chassis if we don’t have to worry about weight, the launch system would get it up to speed without sacrificing fuel

    Fun fact: if you used the propeller on the front of the plane it would also be propelled to takeoff speed using just electricity

    Would be better to use Thyristor as a switching element or a magnet with a contact and many coils

    Can this principle be applied normal passenger aircraft that need longest runway to takeoff

    How do you get the magnets to energize sequentially?

    Nc it can less consume gas if it will applied on passenger aircraft

    Is the propeller bendable in case it crashes?

    If there was a way to slow the acceleration down to a reasonable speed could be used for private flights

    A winch is a better solution to the specific problem of launching RC sailplanes, but the concept is interesting for its own sake just the same.

    You can quadruple the speed if you use high capacity high drain capacitors.

    The other side should be more efficient : coil on the rail, magnet on the wagon. No spike, no friction

    There is a group in Africa. I believe Rowanda. That is delivering medical supplies with rc aircraft. They catapult to launch and land in nets. Something like this would be very beneficial to them. Look them up and maybe you help save lives. Good work.
