Maggy

Maggy is my current ongoing project. New updates weekly!

Would you like Stages, Optoelectronic triggers and an injector coil with that?

Just as the MAP represents my first foray into magnetic accelerators, Maggy represents my introductory course in a multiple stage, Logic-based magnetic accelerator. I have planned for a 3-stage coilgun, the first stage is an injector coil, second and third are significantly more powerful. For very detailed plans check out the plans sub-page.

Theoretical results/statistics:

(9.9 gram projectile)
 stage: coil:Ep: (joules) velocity gain: (m/s)
 Injector32mm, 4 layers 8.81.955
Bank 132mm, 6 layers  35.28.144 m/s
Bank 2
32mm, 8 layers
 54.313.160 m/s
therefore, theoretical velocity will be 24 m/s or 78 fps or 85 km/h
