In response to the heavy number of nations who are researching and begging to build mechs,the Empire of Earagond has begun railgun research.In our theory,

B=NuI

B=Magnetic field strength (Teslas)
N=Number of turns in solenoid (1 in our case)
u=1.26x10^-6 (The magnetic permeability of free space, Henries/Meter)
I=Current through rails and projectile (Amperes)

LAYOUT OF THE RAILGUN (http://home.insightbb.com/~jmengel4/rail/simplerail.jpg)

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo

When a current I moves through a conductor of length L in the presence of a magnetic field B, the conductor experiences a force F according to equation 2.

(2) F=ILB

F=Force on conductor (projectile, in Newtons)
I=Current through rails and projectile (Amperes)
L=Length of rail separation (Meters)
B=Magnetic field strength (Teslas)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand

The direction of the force depends on the direction of the current through the projectile and the magnetic field since the force is truly a vector with direction dictated by the cross product of the vector quantities I and B. In Figure 1, the force is oriented down the rails, away from the power source.

Get it?

Anway,donations and help would be most appreciated :)
Also,we're trying for smaller rail guns,not giants. :)

We would like to fully finance your project, if in turn you would supply us with functional railguns for the next 5 NS years after the project is completed.

Mental lands will fund your research and will provided anything you ask for.

All that we ask for is a working prototype so we may also conduct some research.

He has more money that you o.0

OOC:Can't be bothered to log in as Earagond,so I'll post this like it is him : )

IC:
We greatly appreciate all your donations and expect to progress much faster than expected due to the donations.Mental lands,you shall receive 5 prototypes in case some break down or something like that. Lusitanean Heroes,agreed.You finance us,we send you weapons. :D
