Hey guys! Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but this seemed the most relevant...
So I'm working on a coilgun to shoot 45mm steel spheres, but I need to figure out how long [diameter, gauge, etc] my coil needs to be.
I want to generate a force of about 5 Joules or more [preferably more].
Using "magnet wire," what gauge, # of turns, do I need?
The distance between the ferromagnetic material and the solenoid will probably be between 0.75mm-1mm, depending on the size pipe I can find [else I might need to make my own].
Thanks in advance for any help!
EDIT: I gave distance from the top of the projectile to the bottom of the solenoid. ;)
