Chinese experts announced that they have made a breakthrough in the field of electromagnetic technologies, after the Gauss weapon, which is unique in its capabilities, passed the test. This weapon uses the magnetic field created by a series of coils along the barrel to accelerate and fire projectiles at tremendous velocities. One of the main advantages of such a system is the long service life of the barrel without signs of wear.

• The 30-coil model is capable of launching heavy bullets 124 kilograms.
• They can reach speed It reaches 700 kilometers per hour in just 0.05 seconds.It has the potential to crash into objects at a considerable distance.

The design appears to use an innovative approach to protecting electronic components; thanks to this, it was possible to ensure reliable protection of bullet sensors from the influence of strong magnetic fields.

In addition to the higher velocity of the bullet, lower cost and shorter preparation time for the next shot, the electromagnetic weapon has a number of other advantages over conventional cannons.

It has the potential to make revolutionary breakthroughs in speed, range, power, precision, safety, flexibility and reliability. It can be widely applied in areas such as weapon systems, orbiting satellites and high-speed rocket launches.
– wrote about the developers of the new weapon in an article published in the peer-reviewed journal “Chinese Electrotechnical Society Transactions”.

Besides military applications, the potential of Gauss weapons can also be exploited in the space industry. Their high speed and efficiency can be important when launching small satellites or other spacecraft into orbit. This could significantly reduce the cost and complexity of space missions, making space more accessible for research and commercial use.
