This is an intro video of the CoilOSapien, Marcus will provide some build details in the near future! The coilgun is controlled using the V2’s remote and is able to fire 8 shots with it’s electronic reload. A tutorial for the CoilOsapien hack will be found on my website this will discuss the theory and construction details of the coilgun modification. Once again DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS HACK. Unless you are comfortable and familiar with potentially lethal voltages, eye damaging laser diodes and fast moving projectiles!!! ”

How many kinetic joules dose that coilgun have?
February 13th, 2007
Not sure how to work that out, It uses 4x 330v 230uf caps.

well the capacitators store about 40 Joules then.Kietic output is projectile speed sqared multiplyed by mass W = v2 * m. I estimate it at about half a Joule kinetic output.Wich is not all that bad for such a small coilgun.
I know this stuff cause i alredy made a coilgun one small and one big .Big one had about 13 Joules of kinetic output(goes esaly trough sheet metal). I should once make a multistage version for grater output

Not bad! Now go forth and multiply my children.
