    Problem Statement
    • The module is an electrically powered electromagnetic
    projectile launcher which uses the energy conversion
    system that converts electrical energy to mechanical
    energy in order to launch a projectile.

    Undergraduate Final Year Project Presentation

    Proposed Solution
    • Rail gun is basically an electric circuit consisting of three
    parts,
    • Power source
    • Two parallel rails
    • Moving armature

    • A rail gun uses a magnetic field created by strong electric current in


    order to accelerate the sliding metal conductor along two rails

    Working
    • When projectile is inserted between the rails,
    it completes the circuit.
    • When supply is given to the rails , magnetic field is
    produced inside the loop formed by length of the rails
    up to the armature position.
    • Lorentz force is produced which accelerates the
    projectile along the rails.

    Applications
    • Weaponry in modern warfare.
    • Military rail guns will be produced for next generation of cruisers.
    • Projectiles using kinetic energy to destroy targets.
    • Range of rail guns 2-3 times bigger than medium range missiles and 10 times bigger
    than naval cannons.

    • Launch or launch assist of spacecraft.

    Audience
    • Pakistan military and defense
    • Rail gun has a much larger power than a powdered gun.
    • Currently, velocities around 2-3 km/s have been achieved with the rail
    gun while maximum velocity of a powdered gun is 1-1.5 km/s. It is
    believed that rail can reach up to 5 km/s.
    • Rail gun depends merely on high currents ,so there remains no need of
    fuel and explosives.
