Homemade Railgun | Magnetic Games

I do not recommend you to replicate this Railgun by yourself, the magnets used are very strong and dangerous. You could try with smaller magnets and make it to scale. For the bravest here are the magnets I used in this experiment.

On my channel you will find all the ways to have fun with magnets divided into 3 main categories:

Classical magnetic experiments such as magnetic levitation, homopolar motors, small magnetic weapons, Gauss cannons, gears, magnetic field viewers and much more.

Satisfaction video like the construction of magnetic sculptures, slime and magnetic putty and product review.

ASMR relaxing videos to watch but above all to listen preferably with stereo headphones to be able to appreciate the particular sounds of the magnets

About Magnetic Games:
All ways to have fun with magnets.

The magnetism has always intrigued me. The strength of the magnets is scientifically explainable but there's something "magical" about its interaction with the world. My Channel offers you curious experiments and fun games to do with magnets.

Every time he takes out powerful magnet and sticks it on the board it feels like Thanos implanting the infinity stones to his gauntlet

[QuantumHistorian]

The problem is that most of the magnets pull "backwards" as much as forward". You somehow need to switch them off (or better, reverse their poles) when the projectile goes past them. Of course, you can only really do this with electromagnets

" How did we f**king loose the war ???"
" Sir, the enemies were *Magnetic Games* subscribers "

[berner]

"What did you do at school today Billy?"

"I made a RAIL GUN!"

[Mobius_]

"Negative, I have the gun. Good luck sir."

- B-312

[anthalas]

This seems more like a passive coil gun.

[NoelNinan]

The Gauss Gun based on magnetic acceleration is truly one of the best applications of magnetic physics..

[elloygarcia]

dear fbi agents,
I swear i didn’t search for this it just popped up in my recommendations please don’t kidnap my pet cat

[crewcutter]

This the reason you need electromagnet for railguns, so you can turn it off as soon as the projectile hits top speed. Just put a trip wire/laser at the point where projectile hits top speed to turn off the magnet so you dont have to worry about timing.

[dannyanr]

You can tell how powerful those magnet were by how cautious he handling them. *scary yet fun to watch*

[somenparida]

It's kinda like the gauss gun..i did the gauss gun experiment in science exhibition and it was really cool 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[mizzoupatriot]

So that's where all the pinballs have disappeared to.

[armaauau]

I come from the future, congratulations on the 3 million subscribers

[maxsparks]

Don't get me wrong, this is cool, but I don't think it's a railgun. Some sort of magnetic accelerator, but not what people are talking about when they say "railgun"

[DarthRevan]

Make a barrel so the ball hits the back of a needle firing it into a target

[evann]

After watching that tower he built. I think we need to start making our buildings out of magnets

[markwright]

As satisfying as the end result is, the setup is terrifying to watch. :)

[kosmicznywariat]

You know its starting to get serious when the army takes out the rail gun

[CRneu]

A quick improvement you could make for these videos is to paint some distances on the back wall(or use a piece of foam board), like 1 foot or whatnot so we could do acceleration math. Just a few lines that're a set distance apart can help us get some more numbers for how fast things are going.

[polymathecian]

The inventors of the railgun were definitely playing pool when the realization hit them.
