Coilgun V2 - Hackware v3.4

Hi everyone.

So, we're back!

My name is Eliot, and she is Jing Xuan.

We are back with our coilgun version 2

So, for those of you who missed our first talk,

a coilgun is an electromagnetic projectile launcher

that uses electromagnets to propel a projectile.

We start off by firing the first coil

which sucks the projectile into the middle

and activates the first sensor which activates the second coil,

and the second sensor which activates the third coil

which then fires the projectile.

A quick recap of our version 1 -

we made a 60 Volt 3 Stage coilgun

that was modular and could fire with

either one, two, or three stages,

or one stage with all the power of three stages

into that one stage.

But the disadvantage of having it modular

is that you need to do a lot of daisy chaining

because you need to pass the power

from one end to the other.
