Coilgun - V2b IV

Since my last post here I've gotten the V2b to work, break and work again!

Results are very promising, easily shoots through 2x3mm plywood and I doubt the second stage is tuned anywhere near good.

So here's the setup.
From left to right: Cap charger(230VAC -> 325VDC), Capbank 1&2, Coilgun.
Also featured in the photo is a complete mess of wires.



Target holder:



Little video of the shots I've taken so far.

Coilgun - V2b III

Finally did something with this project
Capacitors should now be super-easy to hook up properly.
Charge and discharge wires properly set up and all.

Seperate positive poles and common ground.


I still need to:
-Hook up a battery for the trigger and lm311 circuit
-Get a better camera(Ugh, yes, I really do need one)
-Stuff.(I bet there's something really useful and critical behind this very useless line.)
