  • Publication number: 20060027085
    Abstract: Once one has taken into account basic shooting/launching issues like breach, barrel, and projectile, work on electrostatic forces can begin. Firstly, safety is a must, the static generator is not lethal but the capacitors are very lethal. Secondly, select material for the rings (i.e. surgical steel), determine Voltmax (in air or vacuum), and design a system to deliver the energy to a ring as the rear of a projectile passes through. If properly constructed, Voltmax=r1+r2 . . . rx or as a unit use ½ mv2. Outcome is very high muzzle exit velocity with extremely small recoil (?10?23 joules).
