The Office of Naval Research is getting ready to deploy their electromagnetic Railgun for testing for the first time next year. But what is a gun without ammo? The Hyper Velocity Projectile is being ...

Archery and target shooting with firearms and air guns are just a few of the many sports and pastimes that involve high-speed projectiles. A handy accessory for any of these activities is some means ...

The last time I looked at this projectile motion lab, I was confused. My different methods for measuring the launch speed of the ball were not even close to being consistent. So, I am bringing out the ...

First Light used a large two-stage hyper-velocity gas gun to launch a projectile at a target, containing the fusion fuel and achieved fusion. The projectile reached a speed of 6.5 km per second before ...

One of the SCO’s priorities was adapting technology from “railguns”. Such guns use neither explosives nor propellant, but instead rely on electromagnetic forces to fire projectiles at speeds of up to ...

The SI-VT2 Velocity Trap from Specialised imaging enables ultra-high-speed cameras to reliably capture extremely fast events by automatically adjusting image triggering in real time. If the velocity ...

The Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) weapon system has made headlines in recent years for its ability — as its name states, to fire at an extended range. Yet in early August the weapon system ...

I've been Googling for a while, but I can't seem to separate the wheat from the chaff in my search for a formula for calculating the direction you should fire in order to hit an object with constant ...
