<p>Orrin Borden: Wrote a short introduction, and outlined different sections I intend to write.</p> <hr /> <div>'''Claimed by Orrin Borden Fall 2025'''<br /> <br /> Rail guns and coil guns both use electromagnetic forces to launch projectiles. A rail gun ejects a projectile, called armature by running a current of several million Amperes across two rails, which are connected in a loop by the conducting projectile. The current generates a magnetic force on the projectile, which propels it out of the muzzle. <br /> A coil gun uses one or several coils of current carrying wire to generate carefully timed magnetic &quot;pulls&quot; to propel a projectile. The barrel of the gun is wrapped one or several coils, through which a current is run to generate a magnetic force, pulling the projectile forward. Once one coil is reached by the projectile, current is diverted to next coil to pull it forward even more.<br /> <br /> ==Operating Principles==<br /> ===Rail Gun Operating Principle===<br /> ===Coil Gun Operating Principle===<br /> ==Comparison==<br /> ===Advantages of Rail Guns===<br /> ===Advantages of Coil Guns===<br /> ===Disadvantages of Rail Guns===<br /> ===Disadvantages of Coil Guns===<br /> ==Glowscript Model for a Rail Gun==</div>
