Posted June 25, 2016 @revsilverspine How about a coilgun powered from an 18650 lithium battery? I mean, you would need some high-voltage, high capacitance caps, and a few other things It'd be fun to shoot with this kinda stuff i7 6700k - 32GB DDR4-2133 - GTX 980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are used because of their accuracy, but they still use bullets. The coilgun/gauss gun however uses an electric current pushed through a coil to create a magnetic field which pushes the projectile forward. i7 6700k - 32GB DDR4-2133 - GTX 980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 27, 2016 Another project here. The red and black wires are connected to a pushbutton switch, and the black and white wires are a 12v input. I will be adding a mosfet and relay to this thing tomorrow to pin 3 of the chip. The chip is a 555 timer wired dead bug style (I am out of PCBs... And project boxes) so I have to get creative. The green and silver thing is a 10k pot. What is the purpose of this device? First correct answer wins an internet cookie. Donate your unused computer resources for cancer and other research.

Posted June 27, 2016 @iamdarkyoshi A timer perhaps? Although no clue to what that to252-ish thing is doing. @revsilverspine Challenge: Digital clock using ONLY 555 and passives. p.s. No idea if it's even practically possible, but it does sound cool. The Internet is invented by cats. Why? Why else would it have so much cat videos?
