... particularly when it's an electromagnetic railgun projectile moving toward you at 8300fps.
Now *this* is the kind of stuff our Navy needs to get all the Quake-playing teenagers signing up as weapons engineers.

Any word on a smaller version for fitting to bikes? Be handy for dealing to braindead car drivers.
Oh... but then I'd need a decent alternator instead of the wussy 280W thing I've got now...
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

A good substitute for that would be getting a nice set of airhorns fitted on your bike. Its a lot of good fun when you get to use em for the right cause.Originally Posted by firestormer

I had the next best thing on my VFR - a pair of loud conventional horns, mounted in each side of the fairing (the normal horn position was occupied by the R/R), and wired through a relay directly to the battery. Loud? My kids used to go, "OW!!! Don't do that, Dad - it hurts!"A good substitute for that would be getting a nice set of airhorns fitted on your bike.

Right. Except this one wasn't a video, it's a PDF document. But I catch your general 'railgun as starting point' drift. It's always good to see some stream-of-consciousness posting. Things get so boring and linear around here.

Could be fun to have a rail gun bike. Flash Gordon here I come.

A mate of mine was making a home made railgun - very primitive you must realise - but it used nails, sets of coils and photogates with capacitors discharging at the appropriate time. broke through a few sheets of paper held tight a metre infront of the barrel. Someone had too much time on his hands i think
on the up
Check out this railgun:

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
