The fuse system is more spectacular but very difficult to calibrate. The goal is to have the coil generate the magnetic field for only a fraction of a second, only until the projectile reaches the center of the coil. When the projectile reaches the center of the coil the magnetic field must cancel out to allow the projectile to exit at maximum speed.
Optimizing this system cost me a lot of time in testing each component of the experiment such as:
1) the distance of the projectile from the coil (for this reason the graduated barrels),
2) the dimensions of the fuse made with aluminum foil (6mm wide for the ball throw and 8mm for the pointed projectile)
3) the power delivered by the capacitors, initially I would have liked to put 4 63V 0.1F capacitors in series but having achieved a rather scary result with only 2 capacitors or preferred not to add others.
Obviously changing one of the aforementioned parameters slightly forced me to recalibrate the other 2.
I thank my friend Ferdinando for the help he gave me in carrying out this experiment

On my channel you will find all the ways to have fun with magnets divided into 3 main categories:
Classical magnetic experiments such as magnetic levitation, homopolar motors, small magnetic weapons, Gauss cannons, gears, magnetic field viewers and much more.
Satisfaction video like the construction of magnetic sculptures, slime and magnetic putty and product review.
ASMR relaxing videos to watch but above all to listen preferably with stereo headphones to be able to appreciate the particular sounds of the magnets

About Magnetic Games:
All ways to have fun with magnets.
The magnetism has always intrigued me. The strength of the magnets is scientifically explainable but there's something "magical" about its interaction with the world. My Channel offers you curious experiments and fun games to do with magnets.

Amazing very amazing and dangerous experiment... But you achieve all the goals successfully...Congratulations 🎉 Best of luck ❤
-
The aluminum foil fuse is a pretty clever solution to avoid expensive and complicated semiconductor setup
-
The title of this video should be:
How to build a futuristic home defense platform on a shoestring budget. -
timing via sacrificial fuse is very novel and elegant. and spectacular! well done.
-
never seen a coilgun* (wops) that uses a fuse to interrupt te currwent. it's beautiful.
-
Adding some rifling in the bore and fins for the projectile would up the game 😌
-
You should not wind your coil backwards, it decreases your strength. When starting a new layer, wind to the start once, and start winding forward again. When you wind backwards, it cancels out, making it the strength of only 1 layer with increased resistance.

Excellent build and slo-mo camera work! Satisfactory marksmanship. 😉🤣✌️😎
-
love the foil fuse
-
New idea: Magnetic artillery
-
how to murder someone with magnets
-
Increíble como se vaporiza el aluminio 😮
-
This one aint a toy but a real weapon
-
Many thanks for your efforts sharing this.
-
Linear synchronous motor
This is my graduation project in several stages -
You can also use the magnetic field from big coil to brake the circuit.
-
very nice video, i was not expecting that the coilgun will really working, but it is really working 👍😀👍👌😂
-
with a 30lb bow i can do more damage to a sheet of foam at 30m. But as an experiment - very interesting, good work

lmao. my guy made a deadly weapon, not knowing it's a deadly weapon
