and I know railguns are taboo but I figured this would be safe to post as a joke because the best minds in the world are predicting 2020 before they have a real field model.

Nope, the plasma is all electric. And the subject is safe, but you watch, there will be a post popping up from someone new wanting to build a coil gun. This is the taboo part. Rail guns are a science education unto themselves.

hey, howd you know I wanted to build one of those ;)
(jk, fusor is my current project)


oh, and railgun does not equal coilgun
like star trek and star wars

but i'm pretty sure both aren't allowed here, they require too much energy in high voltage capacitors

If you tried to build a rifle through this site it would get closed. Same thing, coil guns and rail guns make high velocity projectiles. The caps we can live with, it is the application that matters.
