Build Your Own Electromagnetic Accelerator (Coilgun) - ElementalMaker

Just playing with some electrons and making stuff go fast. Please help support the channel on PATREON so I can continue making videos! www.patreon.com/ElementalMaker Using a boost converter to power up a large capacitor and SCR circuit to dump the capacitors energy into a small coil, accelerating a projectile to mediocre velocities. Credit to Uzzors2k.4hv.org for the boost converter circuit diagram, since I was lazy and didn't design one myself. They have a host of other awesome projects there as well.
