Gauss gun - Wikipedia
Gauss gun. The Gauss gun (often called a Gauss rifle or Gauss cannon) is a device that uses permanent magnets and the physics of the Newton's cradle to accelerate a projectile. Gauss guns are distinct from and predate coil guns, although many works of science fiction (and occasionally educators [1]) have confused the two.
Coilgun - Wikipedia
A coil gun uses electromagnetic acceleration whereas Gauss guns predate the idea of coil guns and instead consists of ferromagnets using a configuration similar to a Newton's Cradle to impart acceleration.
Railgun - Wikipedia
A railgun or rail gun, sometimes referred to as a rail cannon, is a linear motor device, typically designed as a weapon, that uses electromagnetic force to launch high- velocity projectiles. The projectile normally does not contain explosives, instead relying on the projectile's high kinetic energy to inflict damage. [ 2 ] .
The magnetic cannon is a simple device that converts magnetic energy into kinetic energy: when a steel ball with low initial velocity impacts a chain made of a magnet followed by a few other steel balls, the last ball of the chain is ejected at a much larger velocity.
E.3.12 Gauss Cannon - University of California, Los Angeles
E.3.12 Gauss Cannon. There are 3 ball bearings stuck to a magnet in a track. A fourth ball bearing is released on the opposite side of the magnet, and is attracted to it. The ball at the other end shoots off at a much higher velocity. Where does the energy come from?

2017年7月1日 · This device is known as the Gauss rifle (the terms "gun" and "cannon" are also used) and employs strong magnets and steel balls [2]. To those who are not familiar with the Gauss rifle we...
Gauss Cannons - AuroraWiki
2016年2月28日 · Gauss Cannon is a short-ranged rapid-fire Beam weapon well suited to point defense. It can be mounted in turrets and does not require power from a power plant. Gauss Cannon shots inflict one point of damage each over their entire range, but can fire several shots per volley.
How does a Gaussian gun work? - Physics Network
2023年5月26日 · How powerful is a Gauss cannon? The Gauss Cannon is a powerful and incredibly accurate weapon that fires steel flechettes (metal spikes essentially) at extremely high velocities using a magnetized chamber. Most enemies can be killed with one shot, though larger enemies, such as the Cacodemon and Baron of Hell, require more shots to kill.
The Gauss Rifle: A Magnetic Linear Accelerator
The Gauss Rifle also known as the Gaussian gun is a very simple experiment that uses a magnetic chain reaction to launch a steel marble at a target at high speed.
Magnetic cannon: The physics of the Gauss rifle - NASA/ADS
The magnetic cannon is a simple device that converts magnetic energy into kinetic energy. When a steel ball with low initial velocity impacts a chain consisting of a magnet followed by addition steel balls, the last ball in the chain gets ejected at a much larger velocity.
