An improved large-caliber synchronous induction coilgun is designed and tested to
demonstrate the launch of 120-mm projectiles. This induction coilgun consists of 15 identical …

To demonstrate the multistage induction launch capability and test the accuracy of the
simulation result, a small-scale, 4-stage synchronous induction coilgun is designed …

Electrical-to-kinetic energy conversion efficiency of synchronous induction coilguns (SICG)
is the main limiting factor of its development. In the system of SICG, the change of any …

Armature is very important for a synchronous induction coil launcher which can transform the
electric energy to kinetic energy and push the load forward. The structure of the armature will …

For the multistage induction coilgun, many researchers pay great attention to improving the
system efficiency. The directions of magnetic field generated by the driving coils are …

In this paper, some design criteria for a Tubular Linear Induction Motor (TLIM) as a fast
actuator are considered. The in fluence of geometrical and physical parameters on the …

In this paper, we propose an improved launch mode called multistage twisty multipole
electromagnetic launcher. The twisty multipole magnetic field configuration is resolved, and …

Induction coil launcher (ICL) is an electromagnetic accelerator that uses Lorentz force to
accelerate a projectile with a conducting armature. In this paper, the effects of the height and …

Shielding enclosure is very important for a coil launcher system. Shielding performance
directly determines the electromagnetic performance of a coil launcher. In this paper, the …
