How do you make a coil gun?

Answer 1

To make a basic coil gun, you need a coil of wire, a power source (like capacitors or batteries), a projectile (usually a metal slug), and a switch to control the current. Wrap the wire around a non-conductive tube to create the coil, connect it to the power source, and ensure the projectile can move freely through the coil. When the switch is activated, the current creates a magnetic field that propels the projectile forward. Note that building a coil gun can be dangerous and may be illegal in some areas, so proceed with caution and check local laws.
