The disclosed invention is in the field of Electromagnetic Launchers
The notion of using electromagnetic fields to give forward momentum to ferrous projectiles has been around for over a century. There are many examples of electromagnetic accelerators that may achieve a higher velocity on projectiles than combustion propellants, however, lack the means to cross into high-hypersonic and beyond speeds. Such examples include Coil-Guns, Gauss Rifles, Rail Guns, Mass Driver and Electromagnetic Catapults typically categorized as “Electromagnetic Launchers”. As far back as 1904 the Electromagnetic Gun details use of electrically generated magnetic fields to accelerate a projectile in place of using combustible charge munition propellants. Therefore, what is clearly needed is an apparatus and method that can achieve high-hypersonic velocity and beyond.
The following account will provide a comprehensive framework for the construction, methodical operation, and capabilities of the Hyper-Magnetic Matter Accelerator. While the below and claimed components are described with specificity, they are not to be taken as the only configuration of embodiments represented in the present invention. Preferred configuration may be determined by one skilled in the art for the intended outcome predicated on desired velocity and rotation without departing from the inventive core of the present invention.
Construction of one of the first embodiments representing the Hyper-Magnetic Matter Accelerator consists of a multitude of basin-formed electromagnetic field generators (10) comprised of basin-formed mounting scaffold (100) apparati that contain an aperture (102) at their wells and are designed to have mounting slots (104) in which are installed a plurality of electromagnetic coils (106) in which electromagnetic field generating wiring (200) is used. Mounting slots (104) of the basin-formed scaffold are arranged in alternatingly spaced radial pattern columns. Construction of another embodiment can be represented by rotational electromagnetic field generators (12) that may be installed alternatingly between the first embodiments around a conduit (14) and could be bracketed by thermal railing (16). Rotational electromagnetic field generators (12) can be represented by any amalgamation of electromagnetic field generating wiring (200), electromagnetic coil (106) or plurality thereof whose generated electromagnetic field/s physically rotate (30) providing a spin on ferrous material or projectile's longitudinal axis. The basin-formed electromagnetic field generator's (10) electromagnetic coils (106) can be installed with their respective electromagnetic north or south poles all oriented in the same direction to point to the spherical center of the basin scaffold's flared concave well. Both embodiments may be placed in succession encircling said conduit (14). There may be many different types of quick power release sources as well as power storage sources along with control interfaces capable of energizing the components in succession which will enable the aforementioned capabilities of the Hyper-Magnetic Matter Accelerator. Once the Basin Formed Electromagnetic Field Generator is energized, it will produce a basin-formed electromagnetic field (20). Said field will further form a compressed electromagnetic hemisphere (22) slightly above said scaffold's aperture's rim on the concave side. An electromagnetically compressed cap (24) is molded at the top of the electromagnetic hemisphere. Said cap is where the maximum electromagnetic forward momentum force (28) is produced. A toroid-shaped electromagnetic field (26) is also created inside the aperture on the convex side. Electromagnetic material wire (200) is needed for winding the electromagnetic coils (106) as well as rotational electromagnetic field generator assembly. The basin-formed electromagnetic field generator (10) may be oriented around the conduit with its convex or concave shape facing forward or backward, however, concave forward produces the maximum electromagnetic forward momentum force (28) as the compressed electromagnetic hemisphere's cap (24) produces more forward momentum force than the convex side's toroidal electromagnetic field (26)
Operational considerations will entail precisely timed energizing of the aforementioned series of components. Once said representation of the first embodiment (10) is energized it will produce a basin-formed electromagnetic field (20) in which a compressed electromagnetic hemisphere (22) is generated just above the basin-formed scaffold's aperture (102). Said hemisphere further produces an electromagnetic pressure at said hemisphere's cap (24) giving electromagnetic forward flow momentum just as the ferrous material or projectile is influenced to reach the first said electromagnetic pressure cap (24) of the basin-formed electromagnetic field (20). The embodiments are energized in sequence as the ferrous material or projectile travels down the conduit and crosses into the generator's electromagnetic fields of influence further accelerating as well as rotating said ferrous material or projectile's up to but not limited to or by high-hypersonic velocity.
The embodiments of the aforementioned invention may be reconfigured without departing from the spirit and scope of the inventive core. Such as the size of the embodiments, varied shape of the embodiments but also the amount of or shape of electromagnetic coils and corresponding mounting slots as well as the number of, shape of, size of and installation order of the rotational electromagnetic field generators and basin-formed electromagnetic field generators. Configuration and energy levels of heretofore embodiments may be reliant on the intention of one skilled in the art as to the desired outcome for velocity and accuracy.
Achieving extremely high-hypersonic velocities has been a goal of many military and civilian organizations. However, all designs thus far have not quite reached that level or beyond the velocities desired by this field. Therefore what is needed is a new apparatus to achieve said velocities.
This process of previously mentioned embodiments interaction, activation in sequence is to be repeated as often, but not limited to or by, aforementioned configurations, and at high enough electrical power levels as needed to achieve the desired outcome of ferrous material, matter, or projectile velocity and accuracy up to, including or beyond, high-hypersonic velocities. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that high-hypersonic and other desired velocities may be achieved using some or all of the mentioned components, system, and methods without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It will also be apparent to the skilled artisan that the aforementioned embodiments are specific examples of a single broader invention which may have greater scope than any of the singular descriptions taught. There may be many alterations made in the descriptions without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
The Hyper-Magnetic Matter Accelerator is an electromagnetic launcher apparatus and method for accelerating ferrous material or matter to extremely high velocity and achieving but is not limited to or by, high-hypersonic velocities in said ferrous material, matter, as well as projectiles which includes a method for achieving electromagnetic rotational motion stabilization for trajectory accuracy which will address the need for a much higher velocity in electromagnetic launchers.
