I need an equation to calculate how much time a coil has to andcan remain active in a coilgun to reach a specific velocity. Incoilguns the coils must be disabled once the projectile is 1/2inside the coil or the projectile will bounce.
Fixed variables are as follow:
-Mass of projectile
-Initial velocity of projectile assuming vacuum
-Final velocity of projectile assuming vacuum
-Projectile and coil length (Projectile length is equal to coillength
-Coil attraction distance in millimeters
-Coil amperage draw
-Voltage
-Efficiency
