Coilgun Mk. I – Media

This was one of the first tests of the electronics. Development stopped for a long time after this because, as cool as it was, my output estimates had predicted a significantly higher output velocity. Retrospectively, I believe that my main issues were a lack of proper circuits knowledge (from a classroom setting) and an inaccurate prediction due to an incomplete grasp of the physics.
