Neat! How long does it take to charge capacitors before a shot? Or do you have a transmission feeder directly into your lab?

- willis936 5y agoWe use 18 DC train motors with 1-ton flywheels on them. Currently they spin up to 1650 RPM then get turned into generators. It takes about a second to spin up the very inductive copper coils to the desired current then the shot lasts 100 ms. After the shot the motors are spinning at 1200 RPM and it takes 5 minutes to get back up to 1650 RPM.
