Hehe, I'm gonna make one of these and stick a little TWHL logo on there, and dress it up Half-Life style :)

Coilguns :P

Looks interesting.

Coil guns are Gauss guns, just a different name ;)

OHH, I get it, Coil, heh.

Cool... Gauss-guns in reality... It's all scientific-ish :P

i already have 2, nothing of much size though. are you going to build a full size one? like the one he made?

...or do you mean in the Half-life engine?

No, I'm building a real one. Full-size, but small enough to be handheld, kinda like machine-gun size. It's gonna be pricey, but ubercool!

what are you using for the cap bank? what voltage is it at? and its capacitance?

what guage of wire for the primary coil?

Tiggering device?

what are you using for a barrel?

what are you using for the projectile?

why arn't you going to build the reverse railgun I designed (which eliminates the problems of one) instead?

:D :D :cool:

I meant its soooo cool that it's Strange (i never thought of a microwave gun....What's next, a flying burger with a rail gun 2.0 in it?)

M_gargantua, I don't have any idea yet! Still haven't started planning my gauss gun yet. I gotta try making telsa coils one day, I've actually seen telsa coils, but never attempted building them. Funny electrical arcs yay!

fingers burnt by plasma streamer, ouch, buy yay. true story of my old tesla coil. it operated at 500Khz(or Mhz, can't remember) put out 32" sparks, and was very pretty. I had watched my physics teacher hold a paperclip in his hand and let the sparks form his coil, which mine was based on, go through his body to ground. he could do this becasue of the 500Khz frequency, which at that level had a high enough skin effect to just travel over him and not through.

I of corse forgot to use a paper clip, and when the spark (read ionized air, aka plasma) hit my fingers it left a very nasty burn mark and hurt alot. but I was still alive, a little bit of heat scaring can't kill you.

and that is my story.

m0p, ill see if I can get/ make some designs for a good guass gun that looks fairly like the HL one. and then impliment every thing my Guass gun resarch has taught me into it.

Wait, are these poeple developing a gauss rifle or is gauss a real word?
Posted 19 years ago2005-06-17 19:43:36 UTC Post #115072
Definitions of gauss on the Web:

A unit of magnetic field strength.

Lines of magnetic flux per square centimeter, cgs unit of flux density, equivalent to lines per square inch in the English system, and Webers per square meter or Tesla in the SI system.

A unit of magnetic induction, equal to 1 Maxwell per square centimeter. Higher Gauss measurements mean more power can be induced to flow in an alternator. Gauss readings can be increased by putting steel behind magnets, stacking magnets, or using larger or higher-grade magnets.
