- I do not recommend you to replicate this Railgun by yourself, the magnets used are very strong and dangerous. You could try with smaller magnets and make it to scale. For the bravest here are the magnets I used in this experiment.
Thanks to Supermagnete.com for giving me these magnets for free.

The problem is that most of the magnets pull "backwards" as much as forward". You somehow need to switch them off (or better, reverse their poles) when the projectile goes past them. Of course, you can only really do this with electromagnets
Putting the bigger magnets at the front like they did here helps.
You missed the point
I think that's why they did progressively stronger magnets the further down. Yes there is some back tug, but the it starts with momentum, and the stronger magnets give more attraction.

This seems more like a passive coil gun.
You're right. "Rail gun" is made of simple words and the phrase is easily misused as it is here. rail guns, as being developed by several countries require large electric currents to drive large magnetic fields (don't you remember Maxwell's equations?) and doesn't have or need a line of magnets like this does. Even scaled up to the same size as the rail gun the US Navy was developing, this design will never, ever send a projectile at thousands of miles per hour.
But the magnetism is the energy for both weapons... rail gun just uses lorenz force so it needs electricity

This the reason you need electromagnet for railguns, so you can turn it off as soon as the projectile hits top speed. Just put a trip wire/laser at the point where projectile hits top speed to turn off the magnet so you dont have to worry about timing.
You're thinking of coilguns. This is a gauss gun, and they're both different from railguns. It's pretty commonly confused though. If you want to know the difference, here it is:
- A gauss gun (which we see here) uses permanent magnets to accelerate a metal projectile to hit another projectile that either isn't magnetic or is further from the magnetic field (so it holds the momentum) and launch it away. This is essentially a magnetic slingshot/crossbow.
- A coilgun uses electromagnetic coils that are turned on and off in sequence (as you described) to accelerate a single metal projectile without it losing speed as it starts moving away from the field.
- A railgun creates an electric circuit with two rails and a metal projectile, which creates a magnetic field that pushes the projectile down the rails.
Railguns are used in military applications while coilguns aren't, because putting bullet amounts of power through wires creates a lot of heat. Coils only make that worse, but single-piece rails and a metal projectile tend to only be limited by the friction caused by high speeds (the fireballs in the navy railgun videos? Those are from friction, not electricity). However, coilguns do have a real-life application in maglev trains, which operate using electromagnets the way you described.

Don't get me wrong, this is cool, but I don't think it's a railgun. Some sort of magnetic accelerator, but not what people are talking about when they say "railgun"
Rather the other way around. This is the very definition of a "rail"gun, because it uses "rails" of magnets to propel projectiles. It's just not the sci-fi nonsense that what people like to believe is a "railgun".
@@jagel5632 Every definition says a railgun uses high current and conducting rails to propel the payload electromagnetically at extremely high speeds. Railguns aren't scifi nonsense, they exist.
A railgun follows the principle of the fleming left hand rule . It needs current passing through a conductor to form a magnetic field then only its a railgun.
@@jagel5632 Go look up the Naval Railgun, it's real, it has been in prototyping for years. They've got working prototypes that fire a round without exploding. The only issues they need to solve are durability and power use.
@@jagel5632 Not sure why you think railguns are sci-fi. They've literally existed for over a century at this point. The US Navy developed railguns capable of delivering over 10 megajoules of kinetic energy for almost a decade and a half ago. Railguns are very much real and have a specific definition.
After watching that tower he built. I think we need to start making our buildings out of magnets
Horrid idea. Imagine bringing out a table made of metal and it just flings towards the wall- once, one dumbass brought a metal rod into an MRI room and he almost skewered somebody. That proves just how powerful that stuff can get, also, it would be extremely costly and just inefficient. (I'm aware that this comment might be sarcastic)
A quick improvement you could make for these videos is to paint some distances on the back wall(or use a piece of foam board), like 1 foot or whatnot so we could do acceleration math. Just a few lines that're a set distance apart can help us get some more numbers for how fast things are going.
Thanks for the tip 😀
So that's where all the pinballs have disappeared to.
As far as I'm aware, this is not a railgun; I believe a true railgun applies a strong, rapidly oscillating electrical current across the projectile, taking advantage of Lens's Law to create a powerful magnetic field that constantly accelerates the projectile down the rails. With this permanent-magnet setup, most of the magnetic acceleration is canceled out by magnets continuing to pull backward on the projectile after it passes them.

This is so cool, love magnets,
Why do you rely on impact as the method of energy transference rather than starting both the steel ball and lead projectile together at the beginning of the rail and allowing the steel ball to push the lead projectile?
Friction would have all the time in the world to kill the momentum
More than twice as much mass to accelerate. It wouldn't be as fast.
@@RR67890 because the transference of energy happens on impact
I'm confused? Where does the energy come from? Where is it stored?
Impressive. I think the railgun slug should be disc shaped and sharpe around the edges. The size of a dime or penny and sharpe as a razor blade. If the gun chamber would spin the disc shaped slugs that would be even better. This way the gun could easily pack 100 high velocity slugs.
Neodymium magnets are so powerful, make it circle and it won't stop😁💪
I keep wondering if this is possible
Make a barrel so the ball hits the back of a needle firing it into a target
ロマン溢れてやがる…！ 最後に磁石をネット代わりにしてるのも心踊るぜ…！！
Tip for future projects, laying them in place that way will eventually break them. Need to be more careful and maybe use a plastic or wooden wedge to place them
yes, neodymium is known shatter/"explode".
No music, no narration, just pure entertainment.
I remember in college, one science teacher saying he can demo an electro-magnet ONCE a year, because it takes out ALL the circuit breakers LOL, as long as they know (a week's notice) WHEN he is going to do it, he can do it! All the other teachers just stand by their mainsboards, waiting for the breakers to flip, and then wait one minute, and reset them - all of them, around the college!
Thou I liked this video its not a rail gun as much as a coil gun with a magnetic accelerate, as magnets gradually accelerates a projectile, which picks up a bit more velocity with each field it passes through
A rail gun is quite a different device. A very large electrical charge is built up in a series of capacitors wired in series. The projectile rides between two rails, normally encased in a “discarding sabot” arrangement. When the device is “fired”, the entire charge is dumped into the ‘rails”, causing a very violent discharge which carries the sabot/projectile along with it.
Kinda of a useless comment but if anyone is wondering here you go
Ideally you would want frictionless tracks. What about making a cage so you have magnets encircling the track?
what if: instead of the magnetic ball there was a magnetic piston (with a rubberseal greaed with superlube) inside a plexi-glass "barrel" to push the ball-projectile, which is a tiny amount smaller than the barrel.
It wouldn’t be as effective. Rail guns are able to work because they can continue accelerating the projectile through the whole barrel, rather just the start
The metal ball is beautiful
What you want to look at are coilguns. This is more like a coilgun than a railgun. A railgun used the magnetic field in the projectile itself, while coilguns are more like this, dragging a metalic projectile.
The issue here is that, once the projectile has passed one set of magnet, those magnet slow down/drag back the projectile.
With coils, you power them before the projectile gets to them, to pull the projectile, and turn them off so the effect dissipates before it's passed the middle of the field and would be dragged back.
You can't turn off magnets.
@@UA-camAccountName since the sphere used here is a magnet itself, isn't its magnet field involved in the functioning of the railgun?
it's not just any metallic sphere getting dragged by the surrounding magnets.
Thank you, no talking only showing us how to do it, thatks alot.
You know its starting to get serious when the army takes out the rail gun
This is NOT a railgun.
Gauss cannon - maybe.
It is a railgun. Just not a electromagnetic railgun.
@@Animus989 it's not using magnetic rails, it's is magnets in sequence. It's basically a passive coilgun, but definitely not a railgun.
@@Animus989, not.
The main defining feature of a rail gun is the rails as the main traction element in the contour formed by the rails and the bullet.
MAGNETS IN THE RAILGAN ARE NOT AT ALL.
And what you have is just a magnetic gun.
Can we just agree it works and would be effective
@@Inlinetodie, nobody argues with this.
The question is in the title.
"In the beginning was the word."
featuring our old collision ball as a projectile sheesh to beat up a solid metal ball like now i just want to see how much power u cant get with a longer run and electro magnets with no magnets stoping the ball
This guy don't have any glue he uses his magnets to hold things together. 😂😂
So.. if instead of the steel ball to impact your projectile you used a steel sled like a slingshot pouch.. maybe slightly better results?
I watched all your videos really awesome
If you arrange for your non-magnetic projectile to have a diameter about two-thirds that of your steel hammer, so that the hammer strikes the projectile about two-thirds of the diameter above the rail, this should reduce skidding after collision and promote rolling immediately, which reduces initial friction. Billiard players strike the cue ball with the cue in this way, i.e. above centre (unless playing a trick shot).
Nice
Barnes Wallace would have been proud of the final ball bearing. Nice spinning action 3.16
I have a question if a one is nice enough to answer for me. I just woke up thinking of a propulsion system created from magnets. If one could push another. But instead of pushing from one end to another, Why not have it following a set path. For example a main road going straight. We use only the north side on the bottom of our test vehicle, and have our road constructed with a south field facing towards the north. Would the vehicle be able to bounce off that magnetic field and travel down the track? Would rails need to be set to the side to control the movement so the vehicle doesn't go off the tracks? How could this concept be applied if possible at all? Thank you
When one dude in a comment section said homemade rail gun, he didn’t mean it
Put a rail gun connecting us to Mars or even the moon. This way we can travel moons and planets quickly but also quickly stop
growing up in this home must have been the coolest. i would have had a field day hehe
This is NOT a Railgun. Railguns work with an electromagnet and develop unbelievable velocity. I saw a Railgun about that size built in a lab, fire a small projectile through a metal door, across a hallway and through another metal door ending up in the lab across the hall. Fortunately no one was in the hallway or lab across the hall. The people that built the Railgun did not expect one that small to achieve that much velocity.
Cool video. Twenty years ago, I was thinking about anti gravity flying with magnetic use, then my dad asks me if I had been using lsd.
Did you tell him the truth? 😂
Should find a way for the magnets to pull on the ball in a sequence, so that the magnets which are left behind at the back of the barrel don't pull on it anymore, causing it to slow down...

i'm curious, how this setup did not violate the energy conservation principle? The mass get speed, but since is not a electomagnet, you dont need power to make it work. Did the magnets become weaker somehow with time?
Technically this is a Gauss rifle, but still very cool.

@@symmetries_ lusture giving a dim image
My man about to take it one step further and build a MAC cannon
its almost a rail gun except the magnets need to switch off as the projectile passes them and a propellant at the biginning to fire the ball through the rail of magnets bit its still really really cool
Please make it Circle ⭕
The circle would make it difficult, because the magnets need to be progressively stronger to make it gain momentum. That makes it impossible to make an infinite loop of it.
Or if someone is able to make one then it would become like a bullet when you try to stop it
"The force is strong with this one"

Bullets trains
This is not even close to how a real rail gun works. About the only thing this contraption and a rail gun have in common is a metal "projectile". This legal term for this is a magnetic zip gun.
Just a tip: Use a wood wedge to slide strong magnets onto - and off of - a metal surface.
Thanks
You could use a railgun to lanch a spacecraft which makes them gud. I love railguns
this is a gauss gun (mass accelerator using magnetic propulsion)(not using a specific method) not a rail gun...
rail guns use rails that are angled slightly while electrified to create a magnetic field that draws the shot down the rails. (electromagnetic)
coil guns use a series of coils along the barrel that are electrified for a short moment one after the other creating magnetic fields drawing the shot. (electromagnetic)
this is still kinda cool and a friend of mine way back made a small one that shot .177 BBs across the room.
2:40 I had an emotional attachment to the 2nd marble. He fought like a warrior.
I think you're getting off on the magnet slams.
Lord knows I am
Couldn't you set this up on a bike tire rim and then put the opposing magnets on the fork?? It will always stop moving on its own but as long as you have some sort of manual input like the bike crank, You've always got extra propulsion. Also add a lever so you can back the magnets off when you just want to pedal normally
Does the fact that the magnetic field is accelerating the ball mean the magnetic field is weakened? Law of conservation of energy and that.
So the smaller the ball the faster it flies, and the bigger magnet the better, so I get a bunch of really powerful magnets and a really small ball, add a barrel, and make some minor adjustments to the build, and I got a fucking railgun, sick
This would work with electromagnets so you can turn the magnet off when the top speed of the magnet was reached Tom Stanton made one and it accelerated the magnet really fast.
Sulu: Captain! An enemy vessel has uncloacked and is charging its weapons ...
Kirk: Evasive manoeuvre Alpha 6 and start pushing our defensive magnets into the correct position in the launch tubes so we can shoot that insulent little worm out of the sky with a big ball of iron!
Limited by how powerful it can be before the ball being propelled is deformed by the impact of the moving ball, which, inevitably, is stopped by the magnets that move it. Reduces its effectiveness as a weapon.
Bullets aren't used twice😉
So when the apocalypse happens, we'll all be making pointy sticks, and this fool will be making his own Railgun's... Saweeet.
this more of a coil gun that solely uses the magnetic force, than a rail gun which uses the lorenz force that is obtained after the interaction between the electricity in a metal and the direction of the field lines from a magnet
Finally. I can now fight my sleep paralysis demon.
Can you make one that keeps going. Maybe a circle?
That would be a free energy device if it worked.
You would have to use electromagnets to do that
Would it work better to have both the accelerator and projectile start at the back snd go together? How much energy is being lost in the impact? How much would be lost with the drag from the projectile? I'm curious to know
Super

Why not place a glass marble in front of ball bearing from beginning to end of track and measure the velocity of glass projectile.
All that’s left to do is hit the projectile so hard it turns into a plasma stream
Not that it matters, but technically this is a Gauss gun not a rail gun. The rail gun uses entirely current induced magnetism in the slug, the Gauss gun uses a magnetic slug.
This is technically not a railgun but a mass driver
Possibly laying the projectile in the center before launching the fist ball so it picks up acceleration ,like a kicking a foot ball
Excuse me I hope you answer but idk if you’ll see my comment but why is ball bearing stopping or rolling back to middle and not continue off other side??
You could get more power out of that if you used a non-magnetic projectile, since the magnetic balls will be attracted back towards the end magnets slightly when it is hit by the 'hammer' ball
the projectiles ARE non magnetic
Imagine getting your sack crushed by one of those magnets. Be safe out there.
A railgun fires a strong democracy per shot
You should make a Gatling rail gun, crank activated so that it pulls the ball back around (like the tool you use to separate the disks, attached to a circle which returns it to start) you can use gears and these kind of magnets and make something super cool I’m sure
This would make a great pool cue
