Exhibit Summary
Electromagnetic Gun is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Electromagnetism category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
aims to let the audience feel the charm of electromagnetic gun via electromechanical interaction, grasp the relevant science principles of electromagnetic gun, and the application of electromagnetic force in modern weapons.
Operation
In the 19th century, the British scientist Faraday discovered Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. This law reveals that charges and currents in a magnetic field will be affected by the Lorentz force. That is, a wire in a magnetic field will be pushed by a force when it is energized. At the same time, if the wire is allowed to move in the magnetic field to cut the magnetic lines of force, a current will also be generated in the wire. At the beginning of the 20th century, someone proposed the idea of using the Lorentz force to launch cannonballs. During the two world wars, France, Germany and Japan all studied electromagnetic guns. After World War II, other countries also conducted research in this area. Today, as a developing high-tech weapon, electromagnetic guns are favored by navies around the world as a new weapon in the future, and their military numbers are very wide. The electromagnetic gun is an advanced kinetic energy killing weapon made using electromagnetic launch technology. Unlike traditional cannons that apply gunpowder gas pressure to projectiles, electromagnetic guns use the ampere force generated by the electromagnetic field in the electromagnetic system to accelerate the metal projectiles to achieve the kinetic energy required to hit the target. Compared with traditional gunpowder-driven cannons, electromagnetic guns can greatly increase the speed and range of projectiles.
