Meet The World’s Most Powerful Electromagnetic Rail-gun at Mach 7

My new rail gun design is 10 times better (at least) but the principle remains the same.
The theory as to why it is 10 times better is not that easy to show in a usenet social forum. Pointless too.
I have howerver elaborated in depth in my youtube videos, all wonderful and ground breaking in many different ways. Like, the da Vinci++ of our time, lecturing for posterity.
The currents on the rails accelerate the armature, of that no doubt (unless you are a moroney or whodumbo who think respectively that I am doing some sleight of hand, or putting the whole thing on an incline somehow); how that happens, is the question.
As I find no reaction, it follows from Maxwellian electrodynamics involving magnetic fields interacting with current. Not energy particles scuttling around in circles.
The theory follows my new physics and strangely transmission line theory as well, is different; which is why I can make a working model that will be so light that I can suspend it as a pendulum, then check for momentum imbalance.
As I did for my PhD (I did not get it, but that is another story) in rail gun recoil, back in 2015.

If you step through the video above you can see the rail-gun recoil like your rail-gun.

Yes, but that is not the recoil from the accelerating force upon the projectile from the millions of amperes of current.
The recoil would be a lot, lot more if that happened - I mean, if the force making it go Mach 7 had an equal and opposite reaction.

My rail gun recoils for two reasons:
Very slightly because of the spring action accelerating it from rest and upon the rails and
Very majorly because of the treadmill effect from the rolling on the rails. As the armature rolls, it pushes back the rails. But that is a mechanical action. If it was sliding it would not have done that.
But I cannot make it slide with a flat surface, for then it would weld. However I will try doing just that, using a gravity incline and some other tricks over the coming months. Nice hobby, what.

The military gun does not have this treadmill effect but there is a lot of force to
accelerate it upon the two conductors using some electromagnetic drive equivalent ot a spring.
That is, it gives a high velocity to the bullet BEFORE it hits the rails, and the spring effect causes the apparent recoil which simply cannot be equal and opposite.

Two US Navy officers (Schroder followed by Putnam) did sound research work to show that for the STATIC railgun there is very little recoil.
I proved the same thing for a DYNAMIC working model rail gun.
After that I further developed the theory, making my new design at least 10 times better for acclerating heavy armatures (satellites, missiles).
Also, it would be extremely efficient, going by the theory.
It is designed for space travel, after all.

How do i step frame a YouTube video,

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+do+i+step+frame+a+youtube+video&rlz=1CARJNJ_enUS781US784&oq=how+do+i+step+frame+a+you&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j33i160l4j33i22i29i30l5.15273j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

YouTube frame advance (forward): Pause the video and press “.” to go to the next frame. YouTube frame advance (backward): Pause the video and press “,” to go to the last frame.

Do that for my videos.
I am using Windows MovieMaker to show how the centre of gravity changes from rest with time, and how the momentum gets created with internal force.
I get a resolution of 30-40 milliseconds, good enough to make a decent graph.

btw anyone can do that with the video I have presented. Just put it on a big screen, use your mobile to film it in mp4, port to a computer with window, then use moviemaker. As I am doing.

Should be up in a few weeks, too busy now with important social things and thespian matters...

Cheers,
