Re: Silicon Controlled Rectifier

While SCRs can work for you application, I'd only use them in a single coil coilgun design. MOSFETs or IGBTs are probably a better choice since you can turn them off. Also, don't forget to put a diode across each coil so that you don't fry your electronics from the current generated when the field collapses.
