About the project

A guass accelerator or a coil gun is a device that uses a magnetic field to launch a ferromagnetic projectile. These accelerators are stored with a high amount of charge using capacitors. Basically, these are used to accelerate ferromagnetic projectiles. These accelerators are also known as Coil gun.

The light-gas gun is an apparatus for physics experiments, a highly specialized gun designed to generate very high velocities. Basically adopted to study and understand the high-speed impact phenomena, leading to the formation of impact craters by meteorites or the erosion of materials by micrometeoroids. Some basic materials research relies on projectile impact to create high pressure: such systems are capable of forcing liquid hydrogen into a metallic state.

A space gun is a method of launching an object into space using a large gun or cannons. Space guns provide a method of non-rocket space launch. It has been conjectured that space guns could place satellites into Earth's and could launch spacecraft beyond Earth's gravitational pull and into other parts of the Solar System by exceeding Earth's escape velocity of about 11.2 km/s or 40,320 km/h or 25,050 mph.

A ram accelerator is a device for accelerating projectiles to very high speeds. It uses jet-engine-like propulsion cycles based on ramjet or scramjet combustion processes. Application mainly in non-rocket spacelaunch with this technology.
