This year our robotics team could not afford to take part in FIRST Robotics. So we divide our team into two. Our group is building a EM Gun. Its going to be a 3 stage coil gun using #23awg copper wire. Our barrel is a aluminum hallow shaft measured at 3/8 of an inch. Im still trying to work out the numbers and schematics but everything takes time and research
I am going to be using voltages around 350-400 and SLR's are apparently really good at controling and switching these high voltages and ampere's.
