Design and Implementation of mini Railgun

KJ mini railgun to accelerate a $\mathbf{1 0}$ gram projectile, so as to explore the working of an Electromagnetic Railgun, understand various parameters that are needed to be taken care of while designing. Understand functionality as well as requirements of various subsystems. The prototype showed that to effectively use the barrel length and accelerate the projectile, a pulse forming network is essential, also the results from MATLAB models suggest that, with increase in number of capacitors and voltage levels of the capacitor bank the acceleration of projectile can be increase.
