Gaussian Gun!
This is called a gaussian gun. and can be seen and bought on Grand-illusions.com website. They have a video almost edzactly like this.Not nocking kip he has some great vids on here. And since he posted it first he deserves the credit for the post. Just answering the q on what it was.

gaussian gun
it works by using energy transfer, you know the toy people have on their desk's sometimes with the 5 metal balls connected to strings, its the same thing. as the first ball bearing approaches the magnet, its velocity increases due to the attractions, then when it hits the magnet its energy is transferred through all of the balls until it reaches the last one, where it propells it forward. you can make it stronger/faster by repeating the formation above with a space in between each. go to dangerously fun.com it explains it and sets up multiple ones for increased speed.

- actually
  I don't think it's the same at all. That's done by gravity. It'll eventually stop, and it doesn't ever go faster than the original ball. This one does.
  By HawkTeflon 1192496875 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~6525319~~
- which he explained:
  "velocity increases due to the [magnetic] attraction" and as far as the comparison with the desk toy he meant (and said) that they had energy transference in common. As far as your statement, that it works by gravity, you are wrong: gravity impedes the process, so in fact, it STOPS working by gravity.

speed
how fast does that go

i kew this 1
they're called neodimium boron magnets

the device your making is a guase rifle (a magnetis linear accelerator) still nice work

Coo
Did this as a sci-fair project one year. I had like 3 magnets as a chain-reaction sort of thing though.

weird
why does this work?
By HawkTeflon 1192496789 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~6525319~~
where
where do you get the magnets

Okay
That was cool- but couldn't anyone do it? I mean it is't so speical. But it is cool.

The Bad News
These types of magnets are not made for impact so be warned that you have a chance of shattering or chipping

Is Nice!!!
I like!!!! :):):)

so much
4 rocket...fucker

laws
Simkple laws of momentum trick.
Momentum before impast = Momentum after impact.
Mu = Mv
By teynes57 1163252582 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~2456723~~
- Yeah, it's simple...
  ...like columbus's egg. But had you ever tried it? It's really cool, actually.

woow
nice trick

check out
a previous video on Metacafe called Metal Storm. It is a military application of this theory. Pretty cool because you can fire up to 1 million rounds per minute.

- i thought
  that just used gunpowder and an electronis firing system i saw it on future weapons

Good one
HOw does it work?

cool, but..
i don't get it.. any geeks around to tell us what's happenin'??
By amcatch 1163243452 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~3118466~~
not quite
Metal Storm is actually based off of using electronics to fire projectiles, while this uses simple kinetic energy. the magnet attracts the ball, and when the ball hits the magnet it transfers its kinetic energy to the magnet, and therough the ball bearings until it reaches the last one, which shoots out. As far as it not being a high velocity, think about if that magnet was a high powered electromagnet .....
By yunholoman 1163233340 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~1687716~~
- Nope.
  You and specops are both wrong about Metal Storm.
  
  In a metal storm weapon, there is propellant (gun powder) between each projectile that are stacked on top of eachother in a barrel. Electricity only ignites this powder, the electricity isn'y used to drive the projectile, only to ignite power which ignites the projectile.
  
  Seriously, like how can you be so stupid to not understand that? Everyone with half a brain knows how Metal Storm works. (....sarcasm...)
