<p>An electromagnetic parallel rail launcher with an augmentation winding (30, 31) for post-firing inductive energy recovery. A power supply (10) includes a storage inductor (14) which, in conjunction with the inductance of the augmenting winding (30, 31), provides the inductive energy storage prior to firing. As the launcher projectile (25) exits, the storage inductor (14) is substantially decoupled from the rail (11, 12) and augmenting winding (30, 31) inductance so that a high efficiency inductive energy transfer may be accomplished between the rails (11, 12) and augmenting winding (30, 31).</p> |
