igor Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 The physics behind a railgun is fairly simple, I am suprised more people haven't made them. Of course you could just make potato gun with household items.
GonkH8er Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 First of all, find some big capacitors... BIG ONES.... and start coiling copper.... LOTS of copper
Kstar__2 Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 *big smile on his face* ......... *big smile on his face* lemme have it!
Darth Groovy Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 It's a very pretty weapon, (psst send me one rhett) but if you want to inflict that much damage, why not just use bacteria to poison the water supply.
Pad Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 i think that dude has way too much time on his hands. but its true, u can make simple things into dangerous stuff. i once read how to make a bomb white an a-drive disket. scary
Elijah Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Originally posted by Padanime i once read how to make a bomb white an a-drive disket. scary ROFL! you found my tutorial on the Net J/K that'd be a funny thing to see... i saw how to make a bomb out of a speaker O_o
FatalStrike Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Go to the site and read the plans people. There is nothing simple about that gun and doesn't work It melted its projectile before it could be accelerated on the rail. Basically until they can fix it, its a very dangerous paper wieght.
Kstar__2 Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 i can make a disk bomb, but it's verry hard too make:D
Guest Jed Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 I'd like those plans too. But in all seriousness, I do. And what's a disk bomb?
Boba Rhett Posted November 7, 2002 Author Posted November 7, 2002 Oh, it just involves a disk, glue and a few match heads.
Taos Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 Seeing information like this available on the internet for anyone to read just scares the s**t outta me! Kinda like the sniper stuff that you can find online.......
razorace Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 It's the price you pay for a free internet society.
TheHobGoblin Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 All this railgun talk is .....OVERKILLL ........I WANT IN lol
gorganfloss Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 Ah, the future military leaders of America...Those guys are kwazy.
GonkH8er Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 Honestly, you dont need plans people... You need to make coils..... and get some capacitors..... and get a switch or 2....... some metal projectiles, a tube, wires.... ffs ill just draw a diagram and scan it It's not hard to make a rail gun.... I expect everyone who tried to have a working prototype 24 hours after I post the design

I expect everyone who tried to have a working prototype 24 hours after I post the design of course, every one could make one, but I could also load a nail into a modified gun, and get more speed of it then a swamp built rail gun.(no offence) maybe if we pooled are efforts.... *hrmmmm* now, on the other hand, when he posts a update saying he straped a mega sized model to the moon, along with 1000 saturn IV knock offs, and just nuked one of saturns moons.... I buy his stock then, lets just say :naughty:
Boba Rhett Posted November 8, 2002 Author Posted November 8, 2002 Originally posted by SPY_jmr1 of course, every one could make one, but I could also load a nail into a modified gun, and get more speed... Good luck having that not blow your face off.
SPY_jmr1 Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 Originally posted by Boba Rhett Good luck having that not blow your face off. hrmm. I guess playing with a homemade railgun is infinitly safer
Taos Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 A rail gun anyway (swamp built or otherwise).....now that is safety Sounds like Gonk knows a thing or two about this.... Sweet av btw Gonk!!
Elijah Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 *slaps desclaimer on the side* ***WARNING*** This Home maide Rail gun may blow body parts off, please do not try to stop projectiles with hands or other body parts. Do not use wile asleep Please do not try to strap skateboards onto the rail and launch yourself off, damage MAY occur
Boba Rhett Posted November 8, 2002 Author Posted November 8, 2002 Originally posted by SPY_jmr1 hrmm. I guess playing with a homemade railgun is infinitly safer I don't have to hold the rail gun to fire it. You have to hold the gun. And sticking things down the barrel of a gun, other than bullets, has never ended well. :wavey:
Elijah Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 Originally posted by Boba Rhett I don't have to hold the rail gun to fire it. Is it like... remote activated than?
Boba Rhett Posted November 8, 2002 Author Posted November 8, 2002 Yes of course. o_O You don't stand next to stuff like that.
