The Center for Electromechanics has constructed a facility for the operation of a distributed energy store railgun consisting of separate energy storage capacitor bank modules, a 4-m railgun, and the systems required to operate and diagnose the railgun. The power supply consists of ten 53-kJ, 10-kV capacitor bank modules rated at 200 kA. Each module is triggered by signals from magnetic pickup coils located along the bore of the railgun which detect the passing of the plasma armature used to accelerate the projectiles. The railgun will accelerate 1-gm projectiles to velocities greater than 10 km/s. The railgun and the other components of the facility are designed as a testbed system for use in a wide variety of electromagnetic accelerator experiments.
