Description
A modified magnetic railgun has been built and investigated. Permanent magnets were used to supply the magnetic field and a car battery was used to provide the current. The projectile has been successfully shot out. The result showed the current railgun required much less current. Therefore, conventional used capacitor pool is not necessary.
