Or a closed magnetic rail which you unlatch when you fire. The idea that you should use an actual spinning arm is needed is what everyone has a problem with.
A sane solution will be something that's closer to a large water mains pipe supported by a roller coaster frame.
- Aeolun 4y agoA practical railgun of that kind is several kilometers long last I heard.
- thrown_22 4y agoIt has to withstand exactly the same forces as the torsion arm used here.
- aaronblohowiak 4y agoThat’s not true? The problem with spinning is the pulling to the outside, not the going faster. With a straight track/tube you only have the go faster forces not the pull to the outside
