Optimizing a Multi-stage Coilgun

This video i optimize a multistage coilgun based off the results from tests in my last video. The coilgun’s performance was improved predominantly through controlling when the coils are energized and switching the power off to them when the projectile reaches the center of the coil eliminating the losses due to the magnetic field pulling the projectile back in as it passes through to the other side. #coilgun #electronics #projectile #engineering #electrical
