The Electromagnetic Railgun is a long-range weapon that fires projectiles using electricity instead of chemical propellants. Magnetic fields created by high electrical currents accelerate a sliding metal conductor, or armature, between two rails to launch projectiles at 4,500 mph. Watch as the Office of Naval Research and Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, conduct the first shot of the Railgun at the terminal range November 2016.

This is a completely analogue coilgun, generally the ignition timing of the coil is electronically regulated to be precise and performing, I wanted to experiment with a fuse system that allows you to obtain a similar result. The fuse system is more spectacular but very difficult to calibrate. The goal is to have the coil generate the magnetic field for only a fraction of a second, only until the projectile reaches the center of the coil. When the projectile reaches the center of the coil the mag
