Abstract
Abstract. Capacitors with high voltage and capacity values are used in most induction coilguns
that are designed and constructed. The fact that capacitors are quite bulky and slow in energy
transfer and how a coilgun can be made without using capacitors is the study subject of this article.
Two and four coil gun samples were made to find the essential components of an electric gun, and
the results are reported in this article. The accuracy of the results is also confirmed by FEMM
analysis for these models. The harmony of experimental and theoretical results shows that smaller
and low cost portable electrical weapons can be a powerful alternative to firearms in the future.
