Hey,
I made a rail gun that is 3" long with a disposible camera's flash charger. The one problem i had was that i couldn't get the spark to jump across the two rails. So i took a piece of metal with plastic on the outside and touched the bolts on opposite sides and got a large spark but not shock. Is there something i didnt do right?
This is the sight i used "www.geocities.com.nyud.net:8090/physicsthings/microrailgu.htm"[/URL]
I probably should mention that i did not have the negative wires separated like the guy said because i thought that was stupid and i would just wait until tomorrow to get a switch.
Also this might be helpful the capicitor I am using on the charging mechanism is 100uF and 330wv.
