Let me know when you work out how to fit 20 car batteries in your backpack.

A coil gun is like a nail gun right? I don't think you need 20 car batteries. My friend told me about his teacher in his physics class with this small "nail gun" that shot a washer up in the air. But if you want to put a hole in someone, then get 20 car batteries. Anyways, seriously, a nail gun is pointless. Its not like your going to shoot someone a couple hundred feet away and get him.

Contrary to popular belief, coil guns are suprisingly hard to actually get working. Though thinly, small-guage, insulated copper wire is usually pretty cheap, it overheats like mad in a solenoid, and the actual power you get out of it is less suitable to short-displacement acceleration. If you guys want a cool electromagnetic "gun," try a rail gun with a circular track, which would allow you to accelerate the ammunition over a period of time before actually firing.
Unless you have access to two huge inductors or a very large capacitor bank, stick to pneumatics.

1. How much volts would be needed to shoot a projectile 20 ft.
2. Could I use a ring as a wieght in my stephan to get a stronger pull/push.
I'm making a coil gun, not a railgun. Coil guns are more efficeint.

Coil guns require alot of tweaking and sensors to make the magnets turn on and off at the right time. Also, all your stefans are going to be different and not going to want to....cooperate. But hey, If you can get it to work, wow, that would be cool.I'm making a coil gun, not a railgun. Coil guns are more efficeint.

They mention that a circular guass gun setup does not break the second law of thermodynamics.That website (http://scitoys.com) says that rail guns on circular tracks are impractical.
