New video dedicated to the "brains" of electromagnetic accelertors added to my Youtube channel, interrupting its prolonged lull (no english-spoken movies have been there for 8 months, my fault....).

Good luck to everyone in 2024 again!

Another useful thing from Aliexpress - a miniature voltmeter. Having +5 V to the red wire regarding to the black one (which may be conviniently taken from any USB-charger with the corresponding connector)  it can measure up to 3000 V (!) on the white lead - very handy for gauss-builders....

As part of equipping my home laboratory, I bought myself such a miniature power source from Aliexpress. 5V x 30 A are squeezed into dimensions of 185x100x78 mm and weight less than 700 grams! The control potentiometers also have a push action, so that each digit of current and voltage can be adjusted separately. There is nothing superfluous in the kit - a power cord and two banana-crocodile cables are what you need, I love minimalism. Such an animal costs less than 30$.

I received it today, tested (nothing heats up even at maximum power, limitations work, accuracy is normal) and decided to order a couple more.

Massive update of the Accelerator Table: two models of different types have been added at once, and both are record-breaking in their own way.

Firstly, the innovative accelerator from Tokamake. The transistor switching circuit with the original recuperative system made it possible to achieve a record value of the G-factor: G ≈ 0,508. This is the maximum for accelerators with cylindrical projectiles, not counting the unique DB6L design using the ... Read more »

The Future-weapons forum is down again.This has already happened a couple of years ago, but then, after a short break, it was possible to restore its functionality, although some information is still unavailable. I hope that everything will end well now, too.

We wish our colleagues a fast recovery!

Megavolt continues a line of accelerators for standard 4.5 mm bb balls - this time he has completed the ЩУМ-72 model in the form of a compact pistol of low power. It is included into the Accelerator Table  and, according to the results of the calculation, has a record quality coefficient: G = 55.1% ! This is the maximum value achieved for gauss guns with thyristor switching, only the DB6L half-bridge recovery coilgun is ahead.

In general, there are already twenty accelerators in the Table, apparently in the near future I will do another analysis and ... Read more »

An important thing happened - the legendary "Anvil" GR-1 model from ArcFlashLabs was added to the Accelerator Table. This coilgun, widely advertised last year, participated in many shows, such as the Demolition Ranch or Forgotten Weapons, but its exact parameters were unknown to me for a long time and would have remained a mystery even further if not for the help of Megavolt. Judging by the evaluation results, the characteristics of the GR-1 are very far from ideal (the G-factor is about 25%, which is ... Read more »
