Overlapped Electromagnetic Coilgun for Low Speed Projectiles
ISSN (Print) 1226-1750 ISSN (Online) 2233-6656 Journal of Magnetics 20(3), 322-329 (2015) http://dx.doi.org/10.4283/JMAG.2015.20.3.322 Overlapped Electromagnetic Coilgun for Low Speed Projectiles Hany M. Mohamed1, Mahmoud A. Abdalla2*, Abdelazez Mitkees, and Waheed Sabery Electrical Engineering Branch, MTC College, Cairo, Egypt [email protected] [email protected] (Received 20 February 2015, Received in final form 16 June 2015, Accepted 16 June 2015) This paper presents a new overlapped coilgun configuration to launch medium weight projectiles. The proposed configuration consists of a two-stage coilgun with overlapped coil covers with spacing between them. The theoretical operation of a multi-stage coilgun is introduced, and a transient simulation was conducted for projectile motion through the launcher by using a commercial transient finite element software, ANSOFT MAXWELL. The excitation circuit design for each coilgun is reported, and the results indicate that the overlapped configuration increased the exit velocity relative to a non-overlapped configuration. Different configurations in terms of the optimum length and switching time were attempted for the proposed structure, and all of these cases exhibited an increase in the exit velocity. The exit velocity tends to increase by 27.2% relative to that of a non-overlapped coilgun of the same length. Keywords : electromagnetic launch, excitation circuit, lorentz force, overlapped coilgun 1. Introduction is not easy to obtain the main performance parameters and optimize the design [3]. Electromagnetic (EM) launch technology is a strong Sandia National Laboratories has succeeded in coilgun candidate to launch objects with high velocities over long design and operations by developing four guns with distances. -

Ranging from microscopic particle suspensions to nanoscale molecules, these systems transduce chemical energy into mechanical motion across multiple length scales following a variety of mechanisms. Understanding the energy transduction processes and the subsequent nature of particle dynamics offers unprecedented opportunities to explore the physics of small-scale colloidal systems and to harness their behavior in many useful applications. However, over a decade after the initial discovery of autonomous bimetallic nanorods, we continue to struggle to bring such systems into real-world applications. Part of the setback has been the in-depth research into hydrogen peroxide fuel. While the studies have built up the fundamental knowledge necessary for the advancement of the field, we have yet to do the same for other systems that employ alternate fuels. This dissertation aims to fill that void by developing nano- and micromotor and pump systems that does not rely on traditional hydrogen peroxide fuel, uses novel material by taking inspiration in other areas of research, and complete in-depth studies to provide a clear understanding of such systems. -

1 Introduction
1 1 Introduction 1.1 Global Challenges Water, food, and energy security represent major challenges to the stability and continuity of human populations. However, rapid population growth and steadily improving living standards place enormous pressures on already stressed water resource and agricultural systems. Large amounts of energy are consumed to produce clean water and to treat wastewaters prior to their return to the environ- ment, which inevitably leads to a considerable amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as well as releasing other environmental pollutants. At the global scale, about 2600 km3 of water are withdrawn to supply food- driven irrigation needs every year. Viewed another way, agriculture consumes nearly 70% of total human freshwater withdrawals. This number is to increase to more than 83% by 2050 to meet the growing food demand by the rapidly growing population. In the last 25 years, access to water with potable quality has gone up from 75% to 90% of the world population, and, nevertheless, 884 million people nowadays still lack access to adequate drinking water in many geographical regions [1]. Thus, ensuring a stable and sustainable water, food, and energy supply into the future is a priority for all nations. Adding to an already dreadful situation, water pollution is becoming a major global challenge [2, 3]. From the United Nations World Water Development Report in 2018, it is said that more than 2 billion people lack access to safe drink- ing water and more than double that number lack access to safe sanitation. With a rapidly growing global population, demand for water is expected to increase by nearly one-third by 2050 [4]. -
Modelling and Optimisation of a Robocup MSL Coilgun
Modelling and Optimisation of a RoboCup MSL coilgun V. Gies, T. Soriano, C. Albert, and N. Prouteau Universit´ede Toulon, Avenue de l'Universit´e,83130 La Garde, France [email protected] Home page : http://rct.univ-tln.fr Abstract. This paper focuses on the modelling and optimization of a RoboCup Middle Size League (MSL) coil-gun. A mechatronic model coupling electrical, mechanical and electromagnetic models is proposed. This model is used for optimizing an indirect coil-gun used on limited size robots at the RoboCup for kicking real soccer balls. Applied to a well defined existing coil gun [6], we show that optimizing the initial position of the plunger and the length of a plunger extension leads to increase the ball speed by 30% compared to the results presented in a previous study. Keywords: Coil Gun, Electro Magnetic Launcher, Mechatronics, Modelling, RoboCup 1 Introduction An electromagnetic launcher (EML) is a system using electricity for propelling a projectile [5]. A coil gun is a type of EML, having only the ability to launch magnetic objects (such as iron rods) by converting electrical energy into kinetic energy using a coil [1]. Launching non-magnetic objects cannot be done directly using coil guns because they are not affected by magnetic field but can be done using an "indirect coil gun", having a magnetic plunger accelerated by a coil, propelling an non-magnetic object by continuous contact or elastic shock. Both these propelling techniques can be combined in a multi-phase EML. Optimization of this type of launcher is the purpose of this work. -

The current-to-torque and frequency-to-speed relationships of BLDC motors are linear. BLDC motors may be described as stepper motors, with fixed permanent magnets and possibly more poles on the rotor than the stator, or reluctance motors. The latter may be without permanent magnets, just poles that are induced on the rotor then pulled into alignment by timed stator windings. However, the term stepper motor tends to be used for motors that are designed specifically to be operated in a mode where they are frequently stopped with the rotor in a defined angular position; this page describes more general BLDC motor principles, though there is overlap. -

An electromagnetic launcher (EML) system accelerates and launches a projectile by converting electric energy into kinetic energy. An EML system launches projectile by converting electric energy into kinetic energy. There are two types of EML system under development: rail gun and coil gun. A coil gun launches the projectile by magnetic force of electromagnetic coil. A higher velocity needs multiple stages of system, which make coil gun EML system longer. As a result installation cost is very high and it required large installation site for EML. So, we present coil gun EML system with new structure and arrangement for multiple electromagnetic coils to reduce the length of system KEYWORDS: EML, coil gun, Electromagnetic launcher, suck back effect I. INTRODUCTION In chemical launcher systems such as firearms and satellite launchers, chemical explosive energy is converted into mechanical dynamic energy. The system must be redesigned and remanufactured if the target velocity of the projectile is changed. In addition, such systems are not eco-friendly. -

Rajkumar** *(Department of Mechanical Engineering, Chandy College of Engineering, Affliated to Anna University- Chennai, Tuticorin-05) ** (Department of Mechanical Engineering, Chandy College of Engineering,Affliated to Anna University- Chennai, Tuticorin-05) ABSTRACT This project is based on the need for the unconventional motor. This work will be another addition in the unconventional revolution. Our project is mainly composed of design and fabrication of the ―MOTO AUTOR‖ which is a replacement of conventional motors in many applications of it. This motoautor can run on its own without any traditional input for fuelling it except for the initiation where permanent magnets has to be installed at first. It is a perpetual motion system that can energize itself by taking up the free energy present in the nature itself. This project enables to motorize systems with very minimal expenditure of energy.
