A thingy that floats and goes around a track. Ooooooh superconductorsss.... Aaahhhhh
I did not make this. I take no credit for this. Just thought it was cool :)

The SR-1 Semi-Automatic Portable Railgun is a field augmented circular bore plasma armature railgun capable of firing 6x19mm conductive armatures at close to the speed of sound and plasma armatures at supersonic speeds. The dual ZVS flyback drivers consume close to one kilowatt and are capable of charging the capacitor bank to 500V in less than 30 seconds. The SR-1 can be fired in single shot mode, or in semi-automatic mode.
This video discusses the construction and operation of the SR-1 semi-automatic portable railgun, and provides a brief introduction on its systems.

Firing 4.3g tungsten-core aluminum @950V (1.3kJ) at a cantaloupe. Mr. Cantaloupehead is not having a good day. The EMP is so intense that it actually wiped out the Arduino control unit. Fortunately I was able to get it working again after a restart and there was no permanent damage.

Firing 4.2g tungsten-core aluminum @0V (air pressure only) at a cantaloupe. Compare results to test 4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0vCiafjUy8) with an identical projectile fired with the rails charged to 950V. Control penetrated to a depth of just over 1/2" vs. 2.5" with rails active. Proof positive that the rails are imparting a significant force on the projectile!

The SR-1 Semi-Automatic Portable Railgun is a field augmented circular bore plasma armature railgun capable of firing 6x19mm conductive armatures as well as Teflon-plasma armatures. The dual ZVS flyback drivers consume close to one kilowatt and are capable of charging the capacitor bank to 500V in less than 30 seconds. The SR-1 can be fired in single shot mode, or in semi-automatic mode. Capacitor bank stores 4.5 kilojoules of high voltage energy at 500V, and the structure is made from mostly 3D printed components. The entire system weighs less than 30lbs and is capable of firing 1 round every 15 seconds at 70% power and 1 round per 30 seconds at full power.
This video discusses the construction and operation of the SR-1 semi-automatic portable railgun, and demonstrates the firing of aluminum and titanium armatures.
