Gun Solenoid

AI Thread Summary

To achieve smooth passage of a magnetized needle through a solenoid, pulsing the current on and off is essential. Using an unmagnetized soft iron needle may improve the results. This technique helps in maintaining the speed and preventing the needle from stopping midway. Experimenting with different pulse frequencies can also enhance performance. Proper adjustments can lead to successful operation of the solenoid gun.

hi Guys,
i am creating a solenoid gun, but my problem is that when i put my magnetized needle in the solenoid , it just stops in the midway , is there any way that my needle pass through the solenoid without stoping ( with a good speed )
i really need your help

You'd need to pulse it on and off.

Try it with an unmagnetized needle of soft iron.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Linear generator prototype'

i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing , The core is PLA material (3d printed) The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm
