Rail Gunby ~startitan

Traditional Art / Drawings / Sci-Fi

Here's the Rail Gun dubbed "Balun". It orbits around Durik IV. When it's given a firing solutions it adjusts automatically to fire and then does so upon confirmation. The Balun uses either a solid aluminum slug or a fragment shot. To fire, the Balun charges up it's electromagnets and then bursts power to the magnets for a fraction of a second. At the point when the ammunition leaves the tube, it is travelling close to the speed of light.

The Balun also uses the same magnetic field for propulsion (although no where near the speed of light). The field doubles again as a scan distortion field and allows it to virtually cloak itself from sensors.

I'm kind of disappointed with the quality of this picture. The paper image looks a lot better. I may have to look into getting a better scanner.

Looks more like the way a coilgun would work rather than a railgun, but none the less it looks amazing!

Never mind. I didn't read any of the other comments...

I love this. Wish there was a 3D model of it.

That thing looks like a awesome massive space-submarine (just sayin')
btw if I understand that description right that thing is actually coil/gauss gun.
And don't worry about your scanner, if I put something BLACK in mine it scans it as GREY

wow that is massive...
any ways do you think i could use the 'balun' for a school project?

~startitan Mar 24, 2009

Sure

~bobdd0 Mar 25, 2009

thanks!

It looks really cool. Very detailed.
When someone mentions a "Rail Gun", I always think of 'Quake 3'.

Thanks. Yeah it's supposed to work the same way.

Quick comment.
I'm not so sure, but this looks like it might be more of a coil gun (Gauss Cannon). I'll explain why.

Rail cannon's have a fast deterioration because the objects are actually TOUCHING the accelerators, which cause a electrical current.

Coil guns use magnetic force, but the object never touches the coils.

I dunno about you, but it looks more like a coil gun to me.

Nonetheless, this still totally goes in my faves!
