Learn How to Construct a High-Performance Electromagnetic Railgun

AI Thread 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.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
