Electromagnetic projectile launcher with magnetic spin stabilization

摘要

An electromagnetic projectile launcher is provided with a magnetic field in the path of the projectile. This field induces currents in conductors within the projectile or interacts with a magnetic projectile to produce a torque which imparts spin stabilization to the projectile. Arcuate conductive rails are brought together to form a cylindrical bore to accommodate the cylindrical projectile necessary for spin stabilization.
