DESCRIPTION
Rail Gun is a new technology. Have a look on presentation, which i have given in my college.

It is not a Rail Gun but it is a
Rail Road Gun
So What is Rail Gun
What is Rail Gun?
A Rail Gun uses the flow of electricity to accelerate a projectile to incredibly high velocities.
It is distinct from other guns by the fact that no chemical combustion is necessary.
In fact, no gasses are used to accelerate the projectile. All the acceleration is done by the flow of electricity.
Main Parts of Rail Gun
The power Source The rails The Projectile
How Rail Gun Works?
A Rail Gun consists of two parallel conductors, the "rails," bridged by a conducting projectile.
The Rail Gun is fired by creating a current loop that flows from large power source, down one rail, across the projectile, and back up the other rail.
Current loop induces an enormous magnetic field which pushes the projectile down the rails with a force.
How Rail Gun Works?
How fast does a rail gun projectile go?
Till date, Rail Guns can easily fire a projectile at over velocities of 10 kilometers per second
Velocities of approximately 150 kilometers per second are considered possible.
By comparison, the maximum velocity that a light gas gun has fired a projectile is less than 8 kilometers per second.
Rail Gun: Hot Facts A test demonstrated that a rail gun
projectile's kinetic energy could create a 10-foot diameter crater, 10 feet deep in solid ground, and achieve projectile penetration to 40 feet - 3 to 5 times more effective than current guns.
Rail gun projectiles are smaller and easier to store: a standard AGS magazine holds 1,500 rounds; a rail gun magazine could hold 10,000 rounds in the same amount of space.
