ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetic projectile launching system is provided with an automatic plasma armature formation device. An arc created when a conductive armature breaks contact with a pair of conductive rails is commutated through an aperture in one of the rails to a second pair of conductive rails where the arc is used as a plasma driving armature to propel a projectile.
