Hello everybody ! I'm starting my first real project in electronic : coil-gun. And I have something to ask. Some of them are ridiculous but I'm just a Vietnamese 11 Grader so I haven't learned anything about circuits or something yet, just got some experiences exploring some basic circuits.
First is what I've achieved :
- I am now using :
A Fuji-color Flash Charger Circuit + 3 ( 150uF - 400V) Cap + 1 Photo-flash Cap
Paper barrel + 3 layers of 2cm long coil.
- The result :
A tiny ferromagnetic screw (very tiny, about 2mm in diameter) went 35cm. Bigger screw just stuck at the center of the coil.
SO:
1. What do you suggest to improve it according to these ?
+ I prefer using battery
+ I want it to be as simple as possible ( I Can't handle complex circuit schematics really )
+ I want it to be as powerful as possible
2. I want to add more battery to improve power and charging time so what's the maximum battery setup ( serial, parallel ? ) If it is needed to get caps of higher rate then it's ok I can get them.
3. And is there any formula to calculate the Output Voltage (to Caps bank) from the Input Voltage (Of batteries ) applied to the flash-charger circuits ?
That's all for now. Thank you all for reading
P/s : sorry my bad english.
