Arduino coil gun

Coil Gun Mark I

What is a coil gun?

A coil gun is a projectile accelerator that uses magnetism to accelerate a piece of magnetic material (iron, cobalt, nickel) at a "high" velocity.

How a coil gun works

Bill of materials :

  • A bunch of capacitors.
  • Copper wire (approx 0,4 mm).
  • An iron soldering kit.
  • An Arduino UNO.
  • Arduino display.
  • Arduino relay, 2 channels but you can use just one channel.
  • Arduino buttons.
  • Leds.
  • Resistors.
  • A platform.
  • (Hot) Glue.
  • Careful (It may be dangerous).

TODO:

In this repository you will find a step by step guide and many theory concepts.
