Magnetic Cannon V_1

thingiverse

Description My model is assembled from several printed parts and two kinds of magnets: a ring magnet and a regular magnet. The ring magnet has a pushing function; its magnetic field displaces the small magnet, thereby causing it to rise sharply up the tube. The small magnet, in turn, can push the projectile into flight. The pushing force depends on how powerful and large the magnets are and how light the projectile is. Video of the cannon action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5am2KJKLH-s Assembly: The magnetic cannon consists of 3 parts: base, tube and cover. In the model you can use from 2 to 4 small magnets that will launch the projectile in flight, you can experimentally test with which number works best, with me it is 3. You should put some kind of soft plate 4-5 mm high inside the tube, so that the magnets don't hit the surface of the model too hard or crack when reloading. Important! To make the cannon work, in the beginning it is necessary to put the small magnets one of the poles down into the tube, then put the shell on top, and the ring magnet slowly or sharply put it on the tube with the same pole down as the small magnets, this is important, otherwise it will not work properly. Accessories: Circular ferrite magnet 44.8 x 21.8 x 7 Neodymium magnets (2 to 4 pieces) size 11.8 x 3.6 Soft plate with a height of 5 mm. Any shell of the desired size.
