ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetic projectile launcher which uses a pulsed AC generator with a power supply. The generator is operative to supply a relatively low current pulse to initially accelerate the armature after which an extremely high current pulse is applied for main acceleration. The pre-acceleration pulse may be derived from an auxiliary winding on the generator or may be provided by a relatively smaller generator operated in synchronism with the main generator or physically coupled thereto.
