Recoil in Electromagnetic Railguns

Abstract

百度 新时期的城市管理干部一定要补公共管理的课，一定要补城市规划、建设相关专业知识的课。 Gun designers have long accepted and understood the fact that guns experience recoil when fired, and many ingenious mechanisms have been devised to cope with the problem. But hope springs eternal, and when confronted with a revolutionary new technique for accelerating projectiles, where the accelerating mechanism may be somewhat mysterious, the gun designer hopefully asks, >Does it recoil?>; knowing in his heart that it does. The more difficult question with regard to the electromagnetic (EM) railgun is >Where and how do these recoil forces appear and can their location and distribution be controlled?> That is the topic of this paper.
