Estudo Inicial do Fenômeno de um Canhão Eletromagnético (Railgun)

Abstract

In this work, we present a phenomenological study of rail gun on parallel rails for magnetic propulsion of an inert solid material (projectile). In this initial study, a system of proposed equations of this electromagnetic propulsion of the inert projectile on rails with an armature is reported, both of materials that are electrical conductors, promoting a better understanding of this phenomenon. Numerical simulations related to this electrical phenomenon are performed in Matlabr. But also, a simple experiment is elaborated to describe its operation, based on this described theory.
