1) it isn't as expensive as a transformer and i am using a wall supply that is converted to dc through the multiplier
2)I am using an SCR to trigger the coil and the scr is triggered by a 9V battery and a household switch as it is applied to the gate or the SCR
3) i checked the...
I am creating a coil gun using a capacitor bank consisting of 3 470uF capacitors rated for 500V. They charge to about 250V using a Cockroft -Walton voltage multiplier. A switch controls the amount the capacitors are charged and a voltmeter gives and accurate reading of the current voltage of...
