Learn How to Construct a High-Performance Electromagnetic Railgun

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around constructing a high-performance electromagnetic railgun with three units aligned and connected centrally. The main challenge presented is how to achieve a fixed-speed rotation of these railguns. A suggestion is made to use a slip ring device, which would enable the units to rotate while maintaining electrical connections. Clarity on the design and functionality is emphasized as crucial for successful implementation. Effective solutions for the rotation mechanism are essential for the project's success.

I have decided to make an electromagnetic rail gun,in such a way that three of them are ligned with each other and connected centrally,my problem is that how do I make them rotate at a fixed speed.

you are not being clear , at all , on what you are trying to do..
do youn mean that you want to connect three together ' gatling gun ' style?
 
I would think you would need some kind of slip ring device that would allow the three to rotate while still having electrical connections in tact.
 
What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
