Today we make a homemade coilgun from parts laying around the shop. Using some capacitors and a switch and some other parts, we create an electromagnetic launcher capable to launching a small sharpened nail ~10ft using just the power of electromagnetism.

Great vid! Keep up the good work. One of my favorite channels to watch while I’m working on my pc
I didn’t know gays liked things shooting away from their face.
So tell me if I’m wrong but the more coil tes the more power to penetrate ?
Can i pull this off with one capacitor thanks for making the video
That was a fun project.
Looks awesome!
I’m not sure if that dude is a chick or that chick is a dude
Why do you have deadly capacitors laying around the shop?
When are you gonna build a closet so you can come out of it
Your WAY too close to the camera. I clicked on this video and got the shit scared out of me.
Good video.
i would use 10 parrallel 1kV 0,05 uF capacitor.
A little bit more work, and BOOM! Fallout 4 gauss rifle!

That thing doesn’t act like you or I. It doesn’t blink. Its not human.
cool
don’t be so fricking close to the camera, it looks horrifying. Good video
why can’t u speak like a human
saftey. @7.12 if this had fired, running a wall supply. u may have more than felt it.
jesus fuck dude don’t put your weird face so close to the camera man lol
Did you consider using supercapacitors? Also, great channel.
y parellel not series?
pro tip: don’t use hot glue.
random question for anyone. first time I have seen this but what would happen is there were multiple coils for the nail to go through?
such awful plastic surgery
ur a god
Ok thanks for the input also big fan
If I end up making one, it’s going to launch drill bits
hey old granny here you could die if it is above 35v so i just wanted to say that but you shouldnt care i know i dont i just want to scare a couple of babys out there goodnight m8
dude those capacitors are weak af the flash capacitors from a disposable camera run at 330 vdc and there smaller than youre thumb
Question: how to know the capacitor is fully charge?
This is so huge , can u make a portable coil gun ?????
hey ben … can i know how many turns have you given to the coil and thickness of wire 🙂
Nice mate im gonna make a shotgun varient
E comm si brutt
I think you could add an infrared sensor at the end of the coil, this way, when the bullet is detected, the coil is turned off during maximum velocity
You could have use some phototransistors to turn of the coil when the projectile hits the middle of the coil
The cringe is real
