The US Navy is open to the public for a railgun that can shoot cannonballs 200 km ahead of seven speeds of sound

The US Navy has a railgun and laser cannonWe are developing next-generation weaponsAlreadyPublished a laser gun simulation testIt showed its power. And at Navy's Future Force Science and Technology Expo held on February 4, 2015 (US Navy Future Science and Technology Expo), "Rail gunWe are showing off its terrible destructive power by disclosing it.

The overwhelming destructive power of the railgun can be understood with a single shot by looking at the following movies (suddenly starting from a powerful sound of the railgun, so watch for viewing).

"Rail gun" which is used to fire artillery using electromagnetic energy drawn in SF world such as Star Wars ... ...


The US Navy has already made it a reality.


At last the railgun was opened to the public. Accelerate the shell with this long barrel and shoot it.


The rail gun can instantaneously give electromagnetic energy to the shell sandwiched between rails.


It will accelerate to Mach 7 (7 times the speed of sound) in only 0.01 second. Its power is strong enough to penetrate many sheets of iron.


Roger Ellis of the US Navy said, "The evolution of science and technology is amazing.We concentrate electric energy at high density to create magnetic energy and accelerate the shell up to Mach 7 in 10 milliseconds I will do it. "


This is a video shot with Mach 7 in a super slow motion with sharply pointed shell like a missile. The shell will fly toward the target while rotating. In addition,Hellfire MissileSince the speed of Mach is Mach 1, the elevation of the injection speed of the rail gun is obvious.


With the advent of the rail gun, it is possible to widen the range to the extent of 110 nautical miles (about 200 kilometers) far from the range of 13 nautical miles (about 24 kilometers).


The shell seems to be loaded like this.


Brutal Commuter Matt Winter said, "incredibly, the scientists designed the future weapons to make it a reality," he said with excitement and within 10 years the Railgun launches the Navy's ships I expect it will be.


Rail guns with tremendous destructive power also have the charm of "compact weapons".


According to Mr. Ellis, the rail gun was able to significantly reduce the energy required to shoot out the shell and at the same time it could be made as small as it was easy to install it on the ship as a weapon.


The US Navy plans to conduct experiments by installing a rail gun on a high-speed transport ship.
