China tests guided projectile surviving rail gun launch

Chinese researchers have successfully tested a guided projectile prototype fired from an electromagnetic rail gun. The projectile, encased in a delicate silicon shell with a guidance chip, survived extreme conditions including immense G-forces and magnetic flux. This breakthrough, detailed in the Journal of North University of China, demonstrates the projectile's ability to withstand an 8 ms pulse width, 20,000g-force overload, and 7 T magnetic flux density during firing.

    China’s rail gun milestone: guided projectile prototype passes real firing test

    Inside a metal shell being hurled from a standstill to a speed many times faster than sound, the pressure could be as high as an elephant standing on every square inch of a human body. To make matters worse, an invisible, violent magnetic storm is raging through its path. This is…
