Resonant Behavior of an Augmented Railgun
Thomas B. Bahder, William C. McCorkle
We consider a lumped circuit model of an augmented electromagnetic railgun that consists of a gun circuit and an augmentation circuit that is inductively coupled to the gun circuit…
Inductively Coupled Augmented Railgun
Thomas B. Bahder, William C. McCorkle
We derive the non-linear dynamical equations for an augmented electromagnetic railgun, whose augmentation circuit is inductively coupled to the gun circuit. We solve these differen…
Tradeoff between Efficiency and Melting for a High-Performance Electromagnetic Rail Gun
William C. McCorkle, Thomas B. Bahder
We estimate the temperature distribution in the rails of an electromagnetic rail gun (EMG) due to the confinement of the current in a narrow surface layer resulting from the skin e…
Spin-polarized collision of deuterium and tritium: Relativistic Kinematics
Thomas B. Bahder, William C. McCorkle, William V. Dent
We investigate the relativistic kinematics of the spin-polarized collision of deuterium incident on tritium, producing He and a neutron. Within the context of special relativ…
