hey sry bout not doin this yesterday FOOKz... had to tlk with my new girl lol...

ok so in this project im goin to be making a double barrel coil gun w/ 3 or 6 capacitor banks consisting of 4 flash capacitors.... it depends on how many i can get... the reason for the odd number of capacitors is the 3rd bank is going to the 2 projectiles being shot.... my bro really ticked me off... this is how u say uhmm payback.... he took my tattoo gun and put some green ink and put 4 dots on my arm while i was sleepin lol
so ima return the favor

This isn't how you "return the favor". You don't understand how dangerous a coil gun can be.

How old are you? You seem like you're just a 15 year old kid wanting payback. This isn't the way to do it.

No offense. You need to understand what the hell you're getting yourself into before :censored:ing around with coil guns. You can kill yourself.

lol it has other purposes too... maybe just used to threten him.... idk yet... i have to get these dots ccovered now.... prolly gonna do tht sometime in the next month or so.... but i also need to make 1 to show a buddy of mine i can... he doesnt belive tht i can make 1 xD i told him i could...... sooo, we made a bet $50 each... i make it i get 50 from him i try and i fail he gets 50 from me.... we gave our $ to our good friend and i have 3 weeeks to pull it off

and i understand how dangerouse they are lol... ive had to take some bogous hunting class to get a licence to carry my gun... we were told alll the rules and crap about guns... a coil gun ma be electronic but its a gun none the less... besides i just threw my snake in his room while he was sleepin.... hes sooo afraid of it haha

Coil gun's rate of fire is calculated by:

- Width of magnet wire
- current input
- voltage speed of flux
- binding of wire
- efficiency % of windings
- Magnetic properties of projectile

Even if you have a high powered Capacitor discharge circuit, it wouldn't hurt any more than an airsoft rifle.

But its more electrically dangerous than anything out there.

You need:
- 26 gauge enamel coated magnet wire
- capacitors above the rating 4,700uF
- 2 relays
- 2 normally open push button switches
- a high current power suppy
- a few rare earth magnet rods
- some 8 gauge wire
- solder and soldering iron
- something to wrap your coil around

I will build one with you and i'll post pics here too.

I have built a RailGun Already, more powerful than a coil gun but it takes more skill to make.

lol i wanna make a rail gun but i couldnt find any decent tuts.... my skills lie withing trees going BOOM!! im good at doing tht lol... but cant tlk bout tht here

FOOKz™ · « **Reply #5 on:** March 21, 2010, 03:45:03 PM »

No Rail Gun. Just No. If word gets out that acidmods users posts rail gun tuts the US Navy might get on our ass.

PLUS its a lot of physics and math to figure stuff out, im the kind of guy that only tells people how to do something if they are willing to learn, i can tell your not ready for a railgun, its too expensive, capacitors $250 each; 5 capacitors.

I will help you with your coilgun, however start off small scale to get the general idea how it works.

ok lol.... and im always willing to learn y do u think i got the cookbook? its got so many cool things and projects

Could you make a ball bearing railgun?

Demonboy · « **Reply #8 on:** March 21, 2010, 03:50:40 PM »

idk but i have a crap load of those cause i work at a dealership detailing cars and the mechanics always give me bearings... where theyre from idk but i use them to hit cans w/ my sling shot... although a bering gun would be alot more fun

HiddenVenom · « **Reply #9 on:** March 21, 2010, 03:56:12 PM »

Coil. Gun. Sniper.

FOOKz™ · « **Reply #10 on:** March 21, 2010, 03:57:14 PM »

They have to be copper plated steel ball bearings to special specifications to be shot from a railgun. I'm not going to disclose.

Dont use galvanized steel ball bearings the gas can kill you.

HiddenVenom · « **Reply #11 on:** March 21, 2010, 04:02:10 PM »

Coilguns are dangerous, then. FookZ almighty says nay.

I'd rather not kill myself.

Demonboy · « **Reply #12 on:** March 21, 2010, 04:02:39 PM »

haha ok... well fookz i wanna make like a small coil gun not very big but ya... i can go get basic supplies from radi shack in a little bit then the capacitors ill get from cameras

FOOKz™ · « **Reply #13 on:** March 21, 2010, 04:06:44 PM »

You need more than a few capacitors to make a really good one, but if you insist in making one out of a disposable camera then be my guest.

Railguns are dangerous because:
- 4x power of coil gun
- nearly illegal in the USA
- high current low voltage
- galvanized steel can kill you when electricity is passed through it because of noxious Zinc Gas
- components are expensive
- capacitors can explode
- step-up power supplies nedded; like my DC arc welder V2

Coilguns are dangerous because:
- You can poke an eye out
- electric shock
- wires get hot
- capacitors can explode

lol FOOKz its just for a bet... its how u say a scale model i think... ima make a rifle sized one after i understand the mini 1's concept lol

FOOKz™ · « **Reply #15 on:** March 21, 2010, 04:16:04 PM »

im making one right now.

i got the coil winded on a pen, and now im rigging this up to my DC welder as a high voltage power supply.

this is gonna be cool. but i hope the EMP wont kill my computer like last time.

Demonboy · « **Reply #16 on:** March 21, 2010, 04:19:04 PM »

lol can u make something tht can shoot a emp, but is portabe?

FOOKz™ · « **Reply #17 on:** March 21, 2010, 04:22:03 PM »

yep lol

Demonboy · « **Reply #18 on:** March 21, 2010, 04:25:51 PM »

do u have a messenger? outside of AM?

HiddenVenom · « **Reply #19 on:** March 21, 2010, 04:28:24 PM »

Does it kill kill the pc or just disable it? Are we talking burnt out?

( ps you can really tell when thf mods and admins aren't online)

it mrders it oon a super tiny level lol... desnt it fry something?

FOOKz™ · « **Reply #21 on:** March 21, 2010, 04:36:10 PM »

It sends out RF at 500mA RMS above the frequency of a microwave; your nuts will fry, your computer will fry, you won't be able to have kids, and circuit breakers may trip if it amp rating exceeds 70.0% the breaker's limit.

If the EMP isn't any more powerful than 100mA then your OK. Most unwanted EMPs every day are rated at 10mA RMS at 410KHz.

A 100mA EMP is hard to make. Nuke EMPs are 10 AMPs at low microwave level freq. usually around 16.6GHz

lol fookz ur right u are dangerous xD

HiddenVenom · « **Reply #23 on:** March 21, 2010, 04:44:57 PM »

The military are about to sendfookz an email telling him to get in their labs.

I Know Fookz Is Really smart,
he could make some money

lol the military can go suck mah balls. im a private contracted engineer bro. I smoke too much weed i wont be able to pass the piss test.
