Cathode's Mass drive
Cathode's Mass drive - coil, multistage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9rxqLdiBoc
Stage: 7
Coil: 1mm 2Ohm x7
Barrel: 6mm
Capacitor: 1000uF 450V x 7
Charging: 200W 400V
Charge time: 5s
Discharge trigger: Phototrnasistor
Discharge switch: 2000V 70A Thyristor 70TPS16
Projectile: Pure iron 6x40mm 7.10g
Projectile maxium velocity measured: 80m/s
Projectile maxium Kenetic energy calculated: 22.72J
Lauch Test:
Grapefruit - Impaled, projectile stuck in the wall behind it
Orange - Impaled, left a ballastic cavity in it
Misc:
When the capacitors are being charged after each firing, screeching noise with ascending pitch can be heard until desired capacitor voltage is fully met
When projectile is being lauched, a loud buzz is present.
Kickback is intense
Devastating Casualty toward unarmourd target (citruses) in short range
Long range test and accuracy tests are being planned
Ferro projectile automatic reloading system and ferro magazine is being designed

Thanks Dave! Rifling would not work since no pressurized gas is produced without gun powder exploding. That means nothing filling the rifling notch to spin the bullet. The projectile from a railgun/coil gun is best with stablizing fins like rokets to make sure the bullet flies strait without tumbling..
