@Danny oh that's an explosion, thanks would never have figured... But seriously, a human body would would almost instantly vaporize. So no a human could not do this. This is why a rail gun projectile is made from Tungsten, the metal with the highest melting point, because even other metals would vaporize at that speed. .....So right back at you.
One of my brothers used to make rail guns of sorts back in the 70's. he took one of mom's used thread spools made of Styrofoam and pressed two needles in it spaced to go into a wall outlet. when he plugged it in one of the needles would fly out really fast across the room. Years ahead of his time and too inexpensive for government!
While Hollywood's one in that Transformers movie was visually cool, IMO the real ones are way, way more frightening. The amount of energy in that projectile is awe-inspiring. The 2008 test was pumping 10.64 megajoules, with a muzzle velocity of over 8270 FPS (remember, a mile is only 5280'). Very glad indeed it isn't pointed at me. :)
The problem is at the moment that thy need more power than a frig can spend with a normal engine, only a Carrier with atomic engine can spend the energy for 1 or 2 canonns
With each passing year the rail-gun gets more refined & BETTER and BETTER! It's absolutely stunning how much humanity has accomplished in the past century!! Too bad it's design for devastation towards our fellow man.. awesome video😈💨🤘
Well as any new technology it can be used for both good and evil. Yes it's a weapon, but the same technology will be used for else, even launching things into space and research purposes :)
If michael bay became president Nerd: sir, this is my blueprint for new military weapon Michael bay: hm... Railgun? Sounds cool. Explain what this thing does Nerd: it uses electromagnetic to launch projectile sir. Michael bay: will it explode? Nerd: no sir. Michael bay: you are fired
The best weapon is "suprise" weapon. Like Rusland when comes whet "katjuskas" in the ww2. The german soldiers gone crasy when they heard just a voice of it. Its had a huge impact on the battle
I am sure They already made Transformers and Captain America. I cannot imagine when they are together. Sorry guys but this is not a science fiction gun. Even Turkey started tests 5 year ago... I cannot imagine what Turkey didnt show us :)
I designed and built a rail gun many years, 14 I think, ago very similar to this in technology and theory, but on a small scale of three feet long. Used carbon brushes on the projectile which burned up rapidly. Had to use two car batteries for power source. It did well as an experiment. Would send a 1.5 ounce rod about 40 feet. However, the 'barrel was self destructive due to the current flow. I used copper conductors which had to be cleaned between firings or would fail to conduct. This was just a hobby experiment. I thought feasible but only with technology I did not have. It was fun. Simple concept, but required current is very high.
It’s not a camera tracking it, but rather a camera focused on a spinning mirror that rotates to provide a field of view that matches the trajectory of the projectile.
This gun has been under development for a long time. They're finally able to use a projectile that doesn't break apart when it's used it's so powerful. No explosives needed. It destroys whatever it hits.
@@masterbates4200 Considering that it has been experimented with to this point is a tremendous step forward. I remember in it's early stages, that they couldn't even develop a projectile strong enough to withstand the power of the energy used to shoot it. It would just break up. They finally have and will improve on it with further experiments. As you have noted in the video, the technical aspects of this gun are in their early stages, very complicated and would be too big to install on a ship or ground use just as the early laser technology and nuclear bombs had to be miniaturized for it's present use. Also what they're not telling you is, that once it's improved, it can hit a missile, plane or satellite seconds. Much faster than any rocket technology anywhere.
@@gotcha1885 yess we need to stop making stupid stuff like zumwalt ships and f35 so worthless and if we had 1 trillion dollars instead of f35s we could strap laser weapons to f16s and shoot down any missle coming at them and make a new battleships that have rail guns instead of cannons lined with 100s of anti air missles and laser weapons make it a big ship like Iowa class and then oil tankers couldn't run it over like a bathtub toy that would be a badass ship unlike zumwalt

Thanks for making this. I haven't kept track of the progress. This could make battleships relevant again. Even with everything that was there to make that last one work, it took up much less space then the equipment used on the 16-inch guns on the Iowa-class battleships. And then there's the fact that individual rounds are not explosive and are so much smaller. Simply Amazing. A Navy Vet.
A battleship would be pointless. Why do you need a platform for nine 16-inch cannons to fire smaller projectiles? Besides, the future of large ships is in doubt given hypervelocity anti-ship weapons.
@@bruzote you just don't get it. We wouldn't need those large 16 inch guns. A new class of BB could easily be designed around the rail gun system and a nuclear power plant. I can easily envision a ship with four main turrets with four cannon each. They wouldn't be lobbing the munitions of the past. They would be firing rounds that weigh no more than 25Kg super sonic speeds and no explosives. The velocity of that railgun is 2400 meters per second. A 25Kg round would hit the target releasing the equivalent of 72 sticks of dynamite at the point of impact. Think about that. Your lack of imagination and vision is quite sad.

TheDarthDesigner It would be pretty hard to practice with as well. No gun ranges or steel targets for a rail gun, that’s for sure. I wonder what the recoil on something like that (rifle sized) would be. It might break your bones.
not sure if there is a big recoil at all. it doesnt use conventional explosives to launch the projectile. it uses electricity and i dont see how that would cause recoil. maybe an air shift of something or maybe the sonic boom itself from the projectile. but yea, im not an engineer.
Miro H I don’t think it can violate the law that states “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” If the rifle pushes the bullet in one direction, the bullet pushes back with that exact same force.
Jesus was speaking about the Jews. They didn’t know the time of their visitation. That was 2000 years ago and that scripture was to the Jews of that day. Not today. We have more understanding than ever before today yet people don’t want the truth.
I 100% believe that.. they were all about the "star wars program" then once they got approval it went black. thanks for letting me know bro I appreciate it. their "space weapons treaty" wasn't even worth the paper it was written on smh. I guess I wonder most if its meant for a weapon against ppl or a weapon to protect the earth from hostile forces. but I don't think we would stand a chance if a hostile advanced race wanted to take us out so I'm not sure
Completely agree mate but I doubt they've got space lasers. There's around 50 billon every year pushed into US secret projects (Called black budget projects). No clue what any of it's spent on but you Americans probably have some fucking scary stuff ready to test out next time something kicks off and I'm happy we've got you guys on our side haha (touch wood it doesn't)
Mass Vape Yeah I think the laser is for frying people and disabling electronics like if there was a war and a enemy battleship was headed toward the US we could disable it and fry everyone on board
I use this technology in a civil version under water to create a plasma channel followed by an shockwave that destroy sand cores in metal castings. There is no projectile fired. It is the electric energy stored in capacitores. When firering, it is the same effect like the explosion of an water bomb. The foundry in Germany, where I am working is using that thechnology since 2012 succesful.
@@themax9913 I can show you how it´s working in the practice. The Company who is building the shockwave machinery, was make a short movie of the process. The language is in German only, but you can activate the auot traslation in the settings. ruclips.net/video/h2fbVy0Feyg/видео.html
I love how one guy stands directly in front of the barrel at 1:20. I don't care what kind of gun you are dealing with. Never stand in front of a barrel.
You know a weapon is badass when it uses no explosive charge to launch its projectile, yet still somehow manages to create a huge fireball as the projectile exits the barrel!! AWESOMENESS!!
It must be a chemecal reactions charge but trigger discharge still looks like a navals gun explosive charge still in swinging arm or a stablizier.? Unsure but definitely bad ass maybe future starwars development might be in their guns in space in such a defensive and offensive capabilities.
I wonder if what you're seeing in the flash is the result of friction produced when the projectile is accelerated from 0 to 'holy cow' in half a nanosecond. That has to produce a lot of energy. It's funny to see them using FSDS (sabots) like we did on our 105mm main gun rounds in our ancient M60 tanks when I crewed on them. If it works, it works.
I actually read elsewhere in the comments that they use some sort of liquid aluminum to lubricate the projectile on its way out of the barrel and that is what is burning and creating the fireable
It's BAE, not "BEA". It was indeed a UK company. It is now a multinational company. It's US companies sell more to the USA than to the UK. The USA companies are controlled by USA management.
Owning the balance sheet does not mean you have access to technologies or methods of your classified programs, the defence department has extremely stringent rules around it's programs, plus, good luck having access if you are not a US citizen with security clearance.
So the flames and maybe the noise makes sense but what about the smoke? To me that seems like they are using gunpowder to assist in some way. The use of Gunpowder would explain the short barrel as well. As a slightly longer barrel would be required to have enough penetrating speed to do what a rail gun is needed to do as it would be simple to add more or better armor to a vehicle and make themselves harder to destroy.
Micheal Moody-The smoke is from the rails vaporizing to some degree. The rails will have a limited round life before needing replacement, and no one official seems to want to talk about rail life and round count on these rail guns.
Down on the Potomac River is an interesting place called Dahlgren.....or home to the Naval Surface Warfare Center......on test days they close the river.....and honestly, you don’t want to be near it when they are....
The G-forces are overwhelming. Any complex mechanical object, let alone living organism would be jellied upon launch. These could be used to launch cannisters of fuel, water, air, and the like, however, and that would be very useful indeed.
Doesn't the efficiency of the rail significantly degrade each time a projectile is launched? Unless they've figured out an easy way to exchangd those components in the field this tech likely won't go live till that problem has been solved.
Trump is the greatest leader of all time. He can make any system work, even one attacked by Steven Seagal. Trump is a better President than George Washington. He must be because he said so himself that he is the best President ever.
@Giggitee O'Yeah Railgun will be standard on ships eventually, it's just a matter of time. The advantage over powder munitions is obvious, so is round velocity and travel distance. The only thing they are currently lacking is RPM, but that's just another few technology leaps away.
Railguns are great as long as the target stands still or moves in one direction at the same speed. I wonder if an enemy would do that for you? Also I bet you can see the projectile on radar and swerve!
"target stands still or moves in one direction " Do you mean just like the ships usually do? :D And no, you can't see the projectile on the radar, too small and fast
I just did the math. Assuming the missile is exactly mach 7 it is 1.480 miles per second. Escape velocity from the moon is 1.479 m/s. So if you were on the moon and you shot something like this at the horizon or even straight up it would never land. Well, never land on the moon.
Just to be clear. That ain't plywood that sabot round is tearing through but multiple pieces of armor plating like a 5.56 through plywood. To call that armor piercing wouldn't even be accurate.
Yup, that round is self-sharpening as it pushes the target metal molecules apart. Madness, how the US could fix the world and instead they just want to kill us all (for profit).
@@nostromov7892 no kidding and they already have DEWs that can fry shit from outer space faster and farther... What a damn waste of resources. I've worked in government and the military in particular and can tell you that they waste more money than any other governmental entity on the planet. Much of which no one knows about. If a bolt from a hot section that costs about $100 is taken off when doing a hot section inspection of a turbine engine they throw it away. On a pratt and Whitney for instance that's about 52 T bolts and nuts made from inconel, nothing is wrong with them. So every 700 hours or so you're wasting $5200 on something that has nothing wrong with it. If the snap on airplane punch/line up pin you're using gets a scratch on it you throw it away... They should all be fired by us for the insane amounts of money they waste.
And people wonder why we are $22 Trillion in debt (that people know about) and have a worse credit rating than ever in the history of the world (thanks Bush and Obama). We needed a businessman like TRUMP in office. I don't care about his questionable sexual morals or any of the bullshit lies they project on him which are only deflection from the crimes THEY actually commuted they have accused Trump of either. We need someone who knows how to negotiate with the economy because NONE of the last four presidents have and have done nothing but throw money down a hole and our middle class so they can make the corporations they serve more wealthy and themselves so we can become more impoverished, weak and an international laughing stock ran by feckless, lying, corrupt, moronic fools.
I wonder....if they used liquid nitrogen to cool the rails to make them superconducting, producing a stronger magnetic field, if they could extend the range?
A supraconductor don't makes stronger magnetic fields. If they used supraconductors here (and maybe they do, I can't say I'm sure), it would only save the part of the energy lost by Joule effect. If the gun in itself don't explode, I assume this loss is small enough to not be a high priority.
Popeye Doyle I was merely proposing it hypothetically. I don't know if it would actually help increase range or increase the magnetic fields involved, it might even warp the rails from it being too strong of magnetic fields. It's just a fun 'what if' scenario. Nothing more.
The problem would be, if the rail is heating up, do to friction between projectile and the contacts, the super conduits would get hot and would loose his superconducting properties. Because most super conduits are not good conduits at hotter temperatures the resistance would rise to much to fast and you wouldn't have a positive effect.
3 questions: 1. The "Sabot" is made of.....Tungsten? 2. What causes the smoke and report during firing if there is no explosive charge? 3. What is the major problem that stops this weapon from being deployed?
Next, rotating barrels with an auto feed and multi targeting. Smaller versions for AA soon to come. Imagine all the weapons you can that will no longer need gunpowder.
With further advancements in battery and capacitor technology, we could be seeing the average combatant equipped with handheld rail guns in the not-too-distant future, the tech is there now only it's still too heavy and bulky. There are videos on the net showing off people's home builds, I'd love a go myself but I 'ain't 'gonna lie, it's well beyond my current abilities.
tank armour these days is more about destroying the projectile rather than absorbing projectiles, they fire explosive at incoming projectiles to disable them, but ur right, if it could pass the initial defense, the tank armour would obliterate XD
This thing needs A LOT of energy....for now even for a ship is difficult to produce enough energy to power the railgun...for a tank it's a veeeeeery far future ahah
im kinda hoping the kenetic rod weapon becomes a thing. Just as destructive as a nuke without the fallout. Nothing says fuck your country(N korea) like dropping a huge hardened rod from a satellite through the atmosphere, and having it impact like a small meteor.
transeditor It's like a bullet train or "maglev"...it uses an electromagnetic field (in two rails) to propel a tungsten rod projectile (a very strong hunk of metal) at hypersonic speeds (4,000mph+). It uses massive amounts of electricity 1-to-5 million amps (an average home has a 200amp breaker/fuse box) per shot and is pushing the development of super capacitors and many other tech developments.
The battleships are too big and easily detectable, not a good idea at all. The newest ships need to be, yes powerful, but stealth too. Check the ZUMWALT CLASS, the ship that will carry these guns to understand how a stealth ship should look like :)
@@DarthDesigner you forget that a battleship doesn't necessarily need to be large, and itself can be stealth, if it's geometry is carefully studied, something akin to the Yamato style battleships you see on the "MuvLuv" Anime. Somehow a Robert Class monitor sized vessel armed primarily with railguns as primary weapons is already as or more powerfully armed than a fullsize battleship itself.
What about retrofitting all arleigh Burke Destroyers with railguns since the Zumwalt Destroyer Project was probably failed because of lacking ammunition for the main cannon.

I agree with miom. Laser guns, railguns , plasmaguns...they looks nice on movies but in the real life a simple gun is enough to kill someone, cheap and very reliable.This big guy in the video is good for ships or maybe in a very far future for tanks...but not more than that
TheDarthDesigner It would be pretty hard to practice with as well. No gun ranges or steel targets for a rail gun, that’s for sure. I wonder what the recoil on something like that (rifle sized) would be. It might break your bones.
not sure if there is a big recoil at all. it doesnt use conventional explosives to launch the projectile. it uses electricity and i dont see how that would cause recoil. maybe an air shift of something or maybe the sonic boom itself from the projectile. but yea, im not an engineer.
Miro H I don’t think it can violate the law that states “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” If the rifle pushes the bullet in one direction, the bullet pushes back with that exact same force.
This thing would be a great space weapon!

Mass Vape My uncles a 3 star general and told me the US has satellites that stores ion particles its basically a laser satellite!
I 100% believe that.. they were all about the "star wars program" then once they got approval it went black. thanks for letting me know bro I appreciate it. their "space weapons treaty" wasn't even worth the paper it was written on smh. I guess I wonder most if its meant for a weapon against ppl or a weapon to protect the earth from hostile forces. but I don't think we would stand a chance if a hostile advanced race wanted to take us out so I'm not sure
Completely agree mate but I doubt they've got space lasers. There's around 50 billon every year pushed into US secret projects (Called black budget projects). No clue what any of it's spent on but you Americans probably have some fucking scary stuff ready to test out next time something kicks off and I'm happy we've got you guys on our side haha (touch wood it doesn't)
Mass Vape Yeah I think the laser is for frying people and disabling electronics like if there was a war and a enemy battleship was headed toward the US we could disable it and fry everyone on board
I use this technology in a civil version under water to create a plasma channel followed by an shockwave that destroy sand cores in metal castings. There is no projectile fired. It is the electric energy stored in capacitores. When firering, it is the same effect like the explosion of an water bomb. The foundry in Germany, where I am working is using that thechnology since 2012 succesful.
Sascha Funk interesting . So you use that tech to remove the sands and minerals from the metal ? Great work !
@@themax9913 I can show you how it´s working in the practice. The Company who is building the shockwave machinery, was make a short movie of the process. The language is in German only, but you can activate the auot traslation in the settings. ruclips.net/video/h2fbVy0Feyg/видео.html

That is not the barrel. They are loading the "round" using a pneumatic cylinder ram. At 1:32 you can see the push-rod moving.

They wear surprisingly casual clothes for literally firing a military grade rail gun
Think they are Nerds with a paid hobby
They are most likely civilian contractors . . . I doubt this is even funded by the govt.
Maybe this was done on casual Friday.
You know a weapon is badass when it uses no explosive charge to launch its projectile, yet still somehow manages to create a huge fireball as the projectile exits the barrel!! AWESOMENESS!!
It must be a chemecal reactions charge but trigger discharge still looks like a navals gun explosive charge still in swinging arm or a stablizier.? Unsure but definitely bad ass maybe future starwars development might be in their guns in space in such a defensive and offensive capabilities.
@@AKAKDOG the starwars part better come true and I need that to be in our usage in the Canadian military
I wonder if what you're seeing in the flash is the result of friction produced when the projectile is accelerated from 0 to 'holy cow' in half a nanosecond. That has to produce a lot of energy. It's funny to see them using FSDS (sabots) like we did on our 105mm main gun rounds in our ancient M60 tanks when I crewed on them. If it works, it works.
I actually read elsewhere in the comments that they use some sort of liquid aluminum to lubricate the projectile on its way out of the barrel and that is what is burning and creating the fireable
The fire you see comes from the burning of conductive lubricant (liquid aluminium) that they use to reduce friction and heating
The weapon featured in ace combat games now is one step closer to be real
Yeah! It makes me really freaking out how something from a videogame and imagination will soon be real

Owning the balance sheet does not mean you have access to technologies or methods of your classified programs, the defence department has extremely stringent rules around it's programs, plus, good luck having access if you are not a US citizen with security clearance.
I'm assuming the loud boom is from breaching the sound barrier, but are the flames due to air friction?
Yes! And also high voltage electricity.The shell it's pure steel...there is no explosive or else inside :)
Awesome, thanks for responding.
So the flames and maybe the noise makes sense but what about the smoke? To me that seems like they are using gunpowder to assist in some way. The use of Gunpowder would explain the short barrel as well. As a slightly longer barrel would be required to have enough penetrating speed to do what a rail gun is needed to do as it would be simple to add more or better armor to a vehicle and make themselves harder to destroy.
Micheal Moody-The smoke is from the rails vaporizing to some degree. The rails will have a limited round life before needing replacement, and no one official seems to want to talk about rail life and round count on these rail guns.
I guess money generation off repair and replacement is more important than actually making something worthwhile.

Down on the Potomac River is an interesting place called Dahlgren.....or home to the Naval Surface Warfare Center......on test days they close the river.....and honestly, you don’t want to be near it when they are....
One day perhaps this technology will be able to launch satellites in the orbit.
The G-forces are overwhelming. Any complex mechanical object, let alone living organism would be jellied upon launch. These could be used to launch cannisters of fuel, water, air, and the like, however, and that would be very useful indeed.

You can't compare two things so different 🤦🏻♂️
I'd wait for dragonfire to come on line. Very soon. It will cut it in half.
tfw IRL railgun is actually far more powerful than it's movie equivalent
510 loves you always remember that
Doesn't the efficiency of the rail significantly degrade each time a projectile is launched? Unless they've figured out an easy way to exchangd those components in the field this tech likely won't go live till that problem has been solved.
3:31 you can really see the speed of round by how its breaking the speed of sound.
Every standart ammo today can pass the sound wall right after being fired
Still 4000 mph slower than Russian hypersonic missles lol
However, railguns have been made so projectiles can reach speeds of Mach 6-7
0:25 I've never assumed a railgun looked like that. Just saying.
Me too ahaha
I mean it's honestly not that far off
Ephy still pretty cool thing though
Our development is still in process. In 10 years that's probably what it will look like, let's be honest
Maybe because this is a scene from fucking transformers!
If i'm not mistaken,steven seagal can chop that down w/ a sword😁😁😁
At least he claims to be able to..I think he took credit for inventing the RG too...
Trump is the greatest leader of all time. He can make any system work, even one attacked by Steven Seagal. Trump is a better President than George Washington. He must be because he said so himself that he is the best President ever.
I was going to say that threw me off in the beginning with the transformers I'm like isn't that a movie 😂🙈
Convicted felons could own one since it’s not a “firearm”. :)

In 2017 the gun looks like the German railway gun in ww2
Plasma wolf lmao indeed looks like the schwerer gustav in small

Haha,just kidding😝
@Giggitee O'Yeah Railgun will be standard on ships eventually, it's just a matter of time. The advantage over powder munitions is obvious, so is round velocity and travel distance. The only thing they are currently lacking is RPM, but that's just another few technology leaps away.
"SkyEye: Incoming from Stonehenge."
No, that's look like the tools for SALVATION OF ONE MILLION LIVES
I speak for the entire world HOLY shit! 5:37
Railguns are great as long as the target stands still or moves in one direction at the same speed. I wonder if an enemy would do that for you? Also I bet you can see the projectile on radar and swerve!
"target stands still or moves in one direction " Do you mean just like the ships usually do? :D
And no, you can't see the projectile on the radar, too small and fast
3:25 I knew it
what?
Ahahaha
=)))
Dark Viprin , well after all that's where the originating technology came from. . . . . You're correct , it isn't by chance .
the swastika comes from an ancient symbol representing the four rivers of paradise where mt meru is located at the north pole, earth is flat!
It has an allergy, E.M.P.
it's called EMP hardening
Ever hear of a thing called a Faraday cage?
pretty sure it can withstand EMP since the gun it self does already the effect of an EMP
so does every other weapon that isn't a firearm
EMP the cannon? If you can get that close. The projectile can't be EMPed and can fire from over 350km away. Good luck with your EMP.
Meh, stock footage, strange music...
Man they've come a long way.
I just did the math. Assuming the missile is exactly mach 7 it is 1.480 miles per second. Escape velocity from the moon is 1.479 m/s. So if you were on the moon and you shot something like this at the horizon or even straight up it would never land. Well, never land on the moon.

How much bending would occur for a horizontal trajectory?
What is the point ? What's the end game ? Has the usa ran out of ways to waste the people,s money ,
Its not the peoples money and its not a waste. Weakling.
Just to be clear. That ain't plywood that sabot round is tearing through but multiple pieces of armor plating like a 5.56 through plywood. To call that armor piercing wouldn't even be accurate.
Yup, that round is self-sharpening as it pushes the target metal molecules apart. Madness, how the US could fix the world and instead they just want to kill us all (for profit).
@@nostromov7892 no kidding and they already have DEWs that can fry shit from outer space faster and farther... What a damn waste of resources. I've worked in government and the military in particular and can tell you that they waste more money than any other governmental entity on the planet. Much of which no one knows about. If a bolt from a hot section that costs about $100 is taken off when doing a hot section inspection of a turbine engine they throw it away. On a pratt and Whitney for instance that's about 52 T bolts and nuts made from inconel, nothing is wrong with them. So every 700 hours or so you're wasting $5200 on something that has nothing wrong with it. If the snap on airplane punch/line up pin you're using gets a scratch on it you throw it away... They should all be fired by us for the insane amounts of money they waste.
And people wonder why we are $22 Trillion in debt (that people know about) and have a worse credit rating than ever in the history of the world (thanks Bush and Obama). We needed a businessman like TRUMP in office. I don't care about his questionable sexual morals or any of the bullshit lies they project on him which are only deflection from the crimes THEY actually commuted they have accused Trump of either. We need someone who knows how to negotiate with the economy because NONE of the last four presidents have and have done nothing but throw money down a hole and our middle class so they can make the corporations they serve more wealthy and themselves so we can become more impoverished, weak and an international laughing stock ran by feckless, lying, corrupt, moronic fools.
I'd love to see these guns on a battleship. Make them relevant again.
They’re too expensive to fire due to kW demand. Plus when firing they have a tendency to break themselves. So maintenance costs are extremely high.
They need advanced weapons, so when Aliens invade Earth, we will have a possible chance.... ;)
@@NOSUBSCRIBERSWANTED You have seen Alien's fight? LMAO Drop the crack pipe there dummy, and lay off the movies!!!!
I wonder....if they used liquid nitrogen to cool the rails to make them superconducting, producing a stronger magnetic field, if they could extend the range?
Yes.While now the range it's "only" 100+ km in the final phase of development is expected to reach 150-300km O.O
A supraconductor don't makes stronger magnetic fields. If they used supraconductors here (and maybe they do, I can't say I'm sure), it would only save the part of the energy lost by Joule effect. If the gun in itself don't explode, I assume this loss is small enough to not be a high priority.
To say blow up your house?
Popeye Doyle I was merely proposing it hypothetically. I don't know if it would actually help increase range or increase the magnetic fields involved, it might even warp the rails from it being too strong of magnetic fields. It's just a fun 'what if' scenario. Nothing more.
The problem would be, if the rail is heating up, do to friction between projectile and the contacts, the super conduits would get hot and would loose his superconducting properties. Because most super conduits are not good conduits at hotter temperatures the resistance would rise to much to fast and you wouldn't have a positive effect.
You don.t know all the fantastic weapons the US actually possesses. You do not want to know.
3 questions:
1. The "Sabot" is made of.....Tungsten?
2. What causes the smoke and report during firing if there is no explosive charge?
3. What is the major problem that stops this weapon from being deployed?
+X-Man Might have to do with producing Kinetic energy. Electronic stuff produces heat so it would be obvious for this beast.
2-The fire you see comes from the burning of conductive lubricant (liquid aluminium) that they use to reduce friction and heating.

Next, rotating barrels with an auto feed and multi targeting. Smaller versions for AA soon to come. Imagine all the weapons you can that will no longer need gunpowder.
With further advancements in battery and capacitor technology, we could be seeing the average combatant equipped with handheld rail guns in the not-too-distant future, the tech is there now only it's still too heavy and bulky.

I wanted to watch the video but had to stop watching because the background music was just too annoying to tolerate.
I'm preparing a new version without music and a commentary on it :)
man this is going to be NUTS when they figure out how to put these on Tanks i don't think any tank armor in the world could stop something like that
tank armour these days is more about destroying the projectile rather than absorbing projectiles, they fire explosive at incoming projectiles to disable them, but ur right, if it could pass the initial defense, the tank armour would obliterate XD
This thing needs A LOT of energy....for now even for a ship is difficult to produce enough energy to power the railgun...for a tank it's a veeeeeery far future ahah
until we figure out how to install nuclear reactors on tanks XD
im kinda hoping the kenetic rod weapon becomes a thing. Just as destructive as a nuke without the fallout. Nothing says fuck your country(N korea) like dropping a huge hardened rod from a satellite through the atmosphere, and having it impact like a small meteor.
Jeremy Ellis "Or onto an asteroid" lol
Ancient and obsolete. This is so yesterday. Directed energy is the cutting edge stuff now. The dream of the ray gun lives!!!
The ray gun has a problem, lasers go straight! The earth is round so you still need a bullet if you want to hit a target farther than the horizon
Would be nice if someone would explain what a rail gun is? The video is very poorly done.
transeditor
It's like a bullet train or "maglev"...it uses an electromagnetic field (in two rails) to propel a tungsten rod projectile (a very strong hunk of metal) at hypersonic speeds (4,000mph+). It uses massive amounts of electricity 1-to-5 million amps (an average home has a 200amp breaker/fuse box) per shot and is pushing the development of super capacitors and many other tech developments.

Yea you need to know that to decide whitch one to shove up your stupid ass
So basically a battleship can be revived!
Imagine all four Iowas being refitted to carry nine of these, even bringing the Montana project back in.
That would be epic! The amount of electricity to fire all of those at once or in order would be insane thought
The battleships are too big and easily detectable, not a good idea at all.
The newest ships need to be, yes powerful, but stealth too.
Check the ZUMWALT CLASS, the ship that will carry these guns to understand how a stealth ship should look like :)
@@DarthDesigner you forget that a battleship doesn't necessarily need to be large, and itself can be stealth, if it's geometry is carefully studied, something akin to the Yamato style battleships you see on the "MuvLuv" Anime.
Somehow a Robert Class monitor sized vessel armed primarily with railguns as primary weapons is already as or more powerfully armed than a fullsize battleship itself.
What about retrofitting all arleigh Burke Destroyers with railguns since the Zumwalt Destroyer Project was probably failed because of lacking ammunition for the main cannon.
Awesome! So...when is it getting deployed?
Already done
