2. Major Competitors? Power Labs 3kJ single stage coil gun
Very few companies
Not packaged well
Still in theoretical and research stages
Random digi-jock on his own, 3 stage ripple fire
Less funding
Not as up to date in theory
Less access to latest technology

3. The Differences Between Us
Sliced view through the “stock” of the rifle.
3 coils wound around spindles. Either 4 or 6
positioning sensors. 3 banks of 15 capacitors
to drive each coil. Wooden stock for barrel
stability. 3’ X 5” X 5”.
Smaller projectiles
Micro to control fire timings
More of a “finished product”
Smaller capacitor banks
Smaller power consumption
Better power management
IGBT’s versus SCR’s
