That last image is not how a linear magnetic accelerator works. The first image is more accurate.

The last gif is not how Gauss rifles work. More like the first one, but with electromagnets. Very different principals at play here.

yup, these look like neodymium permenant magnets

Magnetism is a stronger force than gravity. Now you know that too.

What is this from? It looks kind of interesting.

Spectral. It looks nice even if it's not that great. Still solid B movie.
girlwithasurprise
Spectral! Its on netflix :) it is very good, lots of work put into animation and props and such
Wrathael
Thanks muchly! Have a great day/night.
girlwithasurprise
You too!!

Spectral?

Yep!!$!

yeah just a fun b-movie. Not great, not terrible, okay to see once.

Best example of this: Taron, a rollercoaster in Phantasialand, an amusement park in Germany. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SASE7nZuoMU
BecauseJapan
so... is that a rollercoaster that uses sections with magnetic linear acceleration rather than big drop hills?
katercharlo
Exactly! And man, it works. And it has a second accelaration in there as well - totally brilliant!
BecauseJapan
it looks like it really speeds up during thst straight low section. looks awesome!

The gauss rifle was always my favorite weapon in Fallout 4. A ridiculously big ass gun (with all upgrades) with a ridiculously big ass boom.

I can not read as fast as that last gif thinks I can.

that's why I posted the source

Apply magnets to your eyes and read like a gauss gun

right click and show controls, it can be paused

Thank you for not calling it a rail gun.

Perpetual motion.
Skizmo
no. As soon as something interacts with the magnet, the magnet starts losing strength.

Legomastar
I always thought gauss rifles used elecromagnetic coils to accelerate the projectiles, it appears I was incorrect.
fyrstormer
You were correct in your understanding. The "Gauss Rifle" shown in the second GIF is actually a Newton Rifle, based on Newton's Cradle.
PersephoneIsNotHome
They do in practice because > force,, but this is a simpler version that illustrates same point and the kiddies can do. Or grown ups :)
Legomastar
I could never get them to work for me, but I think my issue was a lack of power (figure out capacitors) and too thin of copper wire.
badyeti
They do, post is a little off and misleading.
AtillatheGun
coilguns use rings of conductive material and pulses of high intensity electricity to pull the projectile towards them at high velocity 1/
AtillatheGun
Railguns use the projectile to complete an electric circuit, again at high intensity.
AtillatheGun
Gauss guns/rifles is simply the overarching term for magnetically powered projectile delivery systems.

DiracsDelta
Gauss rifle is not a well defined term, used more sci-fi. Three most defined techs are: Coilgun, railgun, and magnetic linear accelerator.
Sielle
You can have my Gauss rifles when you take them from the smoking heap of my now dead 100 ton AS7-K Atlas Mech!
FungusForge
That'll be a breeze with the 2 heavy Gauss on my Fafnir.

As someone who can't figure out how to play (or fight against) something under 40 tons, that hurts my soul.
eggmuffin
Dude, he's just saying there's different kinds of gauss rifles, that the term is inexact. Think of it like "assault rifle".
Camelspotting
Assault rifle is a pretty specific term...
eggmuffin
But loaded with unintended meanings, all depending on who's hearing the word. It was specific, it no longer is.

Magnets. How do they work?

They have little bits of gravity stored inside.

Well, I can tell you how Magnetic Linear Acceleration works. But first you have to study MLA format.

They work because of magnets, duh!
AnAverageJho
Electrons go around the atom, creating a tiny electromagnet (moving electric charge creates a magnetic field). In some metals 1/?
AnAverageJho
Iron, Cobalt and Nickel (or alloys of those metals), those little electromagnets align together to create a larger, stronger magnet.
Millillion
The electricity bits get all spinny and magic comes out.
ProxyPlayerHD
in the most fundamental way, energy wants to balance out
AnAverageJho
Entropy doesn't explain magnets, just that ferromagnets die out over time.
ProxyPlayerHD
how not? it is the reason differently charged things attract eachother is because (-1) + (+1) = 0. positive + negative = neutral.
ProxyPlayerHD
atleast that it how i thought it works in princible
AnAverageJho
Charge is electric, not magnetic. And the fact that the overall charge of the universe is 0 is because of the law of conservation of 1/2
AnAverageJho
Positive and negative charges attract each other due to the Lorentz force. But when a positive charge and a negative charge get together 1/?
AnAverageJho
They don't always annihilate. The best example is how protons and electrons are attracted to each other but don't cancel each other out. 2/2

Can we not somehow design these to create perpetual energy generation?
LiterallyHitlersLeftNut
You sir are getting into quantum physics
edgeofadhesion
Perpetual motion violates all our physics laws, so unlikely.

Friction bro. It ruins everything
LtMashumaro
I actually said this while watching all these gifs.
Zentelis
I've always liked to believe magnets are the key to perpetual motion
TheDarkNerd
There's always a counterforce. Magnets generating electricity through emf induce a counter-current, causing counter emf, slowing the magnet
Zentelis
Oh I know! I never thought I was right, I've just always liked to believe it :)
PersephoneIsNotHome
ah, but that pesky friction
BecauseJapan
that's the rub
