I have worked in robotics. Setting excluded angles / ranges is as easy as... setting them.Baluncore said:Or hit the deck, superstructure or antennas. You certainly are persistent.
All of these were calculations that I intended to do after checking if the concept had any chance to be viable. Since you kindly proved me wrong because the disk itself is not going to stand the stress of hypersonic circumferential speeds, as you said, I see no point in further exploring it and I thank you very much for it again.Baluncore said:The only naval application I can see for a centrifugal cannon would be to spray a cloud of small projectiles at an incoming anti-ship missile.
That would require a very nimble aiming mechanism, something not found in a gyroscopically stable rotating systems.
So you must spin it all up after it is aimed, which will probably require the disc to be the rotor of a flat electric motor.
I expect the disc will still be spinning up, as the missiles strike.
