Optimization of parameters acting on a projectile velocity within a four stage induction coil-gun

Design of A New Electromagnetic Launcher Based on the Magnetic Reluctance Control for the Propulsion of Aircraft-Mounted Microsatellites

“…Moreover, this kind of launcher cannot direct propel non-magnetic metals. In [17], a four-stage coil gun was developed to propel non-magnetic materials. They had to rapidly push the projectile before accelerating it with the developed gun.…”

“…Adding an iron yoke significantly increases the number of magnetic flux lines by reducing the magnetic reluctance of the launcher coil which was achieved by adding a laminated iron yoke around the launcher coil instead of increasing the input voltage of the single stage as in [7,12,16,17,26].…”
