- Electromagnetic Coilgun Design - Learn about electromagnetic coilgun design principles. These web pages describe theory, design and a small prototype. What is a coilgun? It accelerates a piece of iron or steel down a tube. The tube runs through a series of electromagnetic coils (like solenoids). Some careful timing circuits energize each coil in sequence. The principle of magnetic attraction draws the projectile along at rapidly increasing speed.

Wikipedia Articles
- Coilgun - A coilgun or Gauss gun is a type of projectile weapon that uses one or more electromagnetic coils to accelerate a magnetic projectile to high velocity. It is distinctly separate from a railgun.
- Magnetic weapon - A magnetic weapon is one that uses magnetic fields to accelerate and propel projectiles, or to focus charged particle beams. There are many hypothesised magnetic weapons, such as the railgun and coilgun which accelerate a magnetic mass to a high velocity, or ion cannons and plasma cannons which focus and direct charged particles using magnetic fields.
- Railgun - A railgun is a form of gun that converts electrical energy (rather than the more conventional chemical energy from an explosive propellant) into projectile kinetic energy. It is not to be confused with a coilgun (Gauss gun).
