What you want is solenoid switches controling the coils and magnets, as well as a PICAXE 18X microcontroler taking care of the switches.
the hard part is telling the PIC when to turn the switch off, whis could be dome with an LDR (light dependant resistor) and an LED (Light emmiting diode), the theory is simple, when the LDR can see light, keep the switch on, but when the projectile passes through that light turn the switch off.
there are probably simpler ways of turning the switch off at the right time, but those are probably harder to get working, i.e a timer in the PIC

Thank you; although that mnight not b the fastese/easiest thing to build

i found this like
http://www.angelfire.com/80s/sixmhz/cgkit.html
so if anyone want to make 1 its not to hard

i thought to that maby i coiuld have it set up in such a way where more the more camera flash could work in such a waywhere as soon as one flased; the next one would to; simple by connecting wire to the same energy source; just a theroy - not well described here - but it might work

Dont listen to what they have to say, take pride in your work and believe in your self.

uhm, yeah, aren't you finished yet?

Also, if not then try using the phenomenon of induction.

Wow, 5 posts and you've already managed to resurrect several dead topics with BS posts like this one. Real fuckin' cool dude!

No one's going to go to your stupid poker website, so either get a clue and make some relevant posts or get banned, please.

"The Devil I say! The DEVIL!"

...yeah, I don't like induction... The concept is so simple and easy, but actually getting it to work and producing a measurable voltage is annoying...

Guys let this topic die.
The coil gun project is over, he decided to build a trebuchet (spelling = bad, so dont bother)

Coil Gun - any help?
