Beyond Railguns: Zero-Friction Launching via 1mm Plasma Gap and Mechanical Timing
Abstract
This technical paper introduces a novel propulsion concept, "High-Power Magnetic Liquid Atomization" (HPMLA), designed to surpass traditional railgun efficiency. By integrating a 1mm plasma gap and mechanical timing, the system achieves zero-friction launching, minimizing thermal degradඋ
