Sweet! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- brian
stevens I want
one!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- James
Martens Good day. Loved the videos and everything - now I want to build one. /grin One question,
however - the projectile itself isn't spinning in the manner that a normal bullet would be due to the fact that
there's no rifling - I imagine this would affect accuracy a bit,as well as distance. Would it be
possible to modify the field so it can spin the projectile to imitate rifling in a standard
gun? <-- Not very up on the physics or programming, I'd imagine you'd need a separate timing/charging
circuit for each section of the coil.. Interesting work, though. Would love to see more of
it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick
Wow. It looks like a mix of the russian gauss gun and the pistol of James Paul (coilgun.com)! You did
a great
job. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WeedVender Nice
Gun, I saw it on 4Hv. At a glance, it looks like the HK Mark 23 Mod 0 with the LAM aparatus. It's a
special forces gun commonly called "Socom". I am also looking foward to those revolver plans you
made
:) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mouse
a kit for one of these i think would be utterly fascinating and i personally would love to purchase
one. as for a fully assembled model, i would not be so interested. i am highly interested in the
inner workings of all firearms and this one has piqued my interest like none other, a fully
assembled model would detract from the intrest i
think. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nick
HI, I saw your coilgun at the 4hv forum and was intrested in your microcontrollers. Are
you using a pic driver? If so I would like to know about your boards and schematics if
possible. I have just started programing pic drivers from my computer and am looking for a way to make seperate boards for these kinds of projects. Great job on your
cg. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kyle
i'd love to be able to have some of the components, ie circut boards and such available to purchase,
along with the switchign side of the electronics, heck a whole kit would be nice too althoguh i'd
like to see some things be variable so people can work with and tune thier own, i'd probly make a
case from fiberglass. p.s, the lazer aimer is a nice touch, good job with all the hard work, my coil gun is
much larger, but single stage and scr switched, any suggestions for building a better one would be
apreciated, i have little circut desighn
knowledge --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack
Norton I would be very interested in aquiring a kit or ready-built example. I think I would
enjoy trying to improve upon the design. I am about to graduate in Physics so this would be in
the realm of my interests.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan
Webber Hi, I'm from Brisbane, Australia, I would be interested in purchasing around 10 of your kits if
they were ever made available. Hope the interest from everyone else makes it viable!
Cheers, Jonathan

Hey man, I need something to do for a Graduation project for highschool. This Gauss gun is the
coolest thing ive ever seen. Will you have kits or parts lists any time soon ? Maybe
even with a detailed schematic so I don't mess something up ? I'm sure something like this will definatley give me the "get out of jail free" card, if you know what I
mean. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nick
I've read the whole page and your design is awesome. It reminds me of something I'd see in a cyberpunk
movie :) I'd love to see plans, or maybe even a kit plans available as soon as possible! Keep up the good
work! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark
Ward Do you sell a kit version with instructions? Please can you send me a price including
delivery to the UK for your different models. I do not need delivery until after September
22nd as I am moving house so I am prepared to wait if you are going to be making a next generation gun. Thanks for your time. Regards Mark
Ward --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emmett
Lodge I'm very interested in your fully assembled gauss pistols, if you ever decide to make them.
However, I am curious to know if the power of the pistol can be increased any. Would a lighter
projectile help? Also, have you done tests to see what it's range is? Thank
you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charlie
ODonovan It is people like you that bring happiness to my life!!! I most definately would love to
purchase the kit form of this gun. If you know of any other really cool kits I would love to hear
about them. Keep me informed when you have some kits ready for
sale. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave
Camilleri i was wondering what you would charge for one of these things assembled and where i could
get the ammo for it. and i was directed here from www.hackaday.com. thanks alot and i look forward
to doing business with
you --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim
Interested to see how much it costs, built and to see if the kit is already pre-built so everything
kinda snaps or screws together when it is taken out of the box. Hey, do you sell them already
pre-built? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- High
Voltage I really think a lot of money could be made selling this item. rifling would be sweet. what
is the effective range on that
thing? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy
This is rad, send me info on plans when available
please. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- maxwell Brilliant
stuff! Never seen that before! Now, if only you could work some sexy design into the actual body of the
gun...maybe some sci-fi related
design? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris
Wray I would love to order a prebuilt kit or all the components to create this divice. Pleas email me
with details and pricing after you have it established. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Z
thats a truly great design but i warn u that the military is also makin a similar rifle and they have
already patented the technology becareful u dun get sued or somethin, also by adding more coils or
increasing the coil voltage this gun could become very very dangerous (thats why the military has
made a similar rifle :) which isnt bieng used yet) so i strongly recomment that u dun release the schematics for
the
gun. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Z3r0Shin
Hi! I would like to know if you plan to build a rifle instead of a gun. Also, if you use much
more resistant coils and plug it directly into common house power plugs, will the augmented amps
cause the projectile to go faster/further? Nice
work! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert
Goodman I love the idea of selling kits. I personally would have a hard time finding parts in my
neck of the woods. I ready to go "solder and go" kit would be pretty
fun. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jeremy
lol thats awesome. it reminds me of the enforcer from unreal tournament though. ;-) keep
up the good work on shit like
that --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- david
I have to say that this is pretty cool... Wouldn't it be incredible to collaborate on a project to
make one huge gauss rifle? Escape velocity is 7 km/s. I would love to see a pellet go that
fast. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kyle
Keep up the work, I so want one. Just name the price, youve go me
sold. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom I
was wondering why you made it so complicated. It seems to me that getting rid of all the electronical stuff and
just have a couple batteries, barrel, wire coil, and trigger would make it work just as good. Bare
in mind though that I don't know anything about that type of stuff... It is really cool by the
way!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1sikwip
hobby enthusiest, would like plans for the satisfaction and and inisituive and understading for
posible alterations from my own experience, will share and and all progress from projects such as
this, as will others i am sure. thank you for your contribution so far. keep up the outstanding
work!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lukas
Busch Interesting. Especially the design, well built and thought out. I would pay good money for
one. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kar Gauss
guns have been around for a long time. What the military may be patenting is not necessarily the gauss gun
technology, but some optimizations to it that make the projectile go faster/further with less power.
So I wouldnt worry about posssible patent
infringements. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- k00zk0 So,
in theory, you can have a barrel meters long with multiple coils to fire projectiles into outer space?
:D --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- chris
blumenberg wic ked cool. think when you stat making some cash from this there might be the possibility of a
larger version? maybe rifle sized with battery in
backpack? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Louis
Lang Hey, this gun is AWSOME! I just found out what a gauss pistol is and have already started
researching it further. About how much did your gun cost to build? I may go out tommorow and
purchase all the needed items to build it and continue with some experimenting
:) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PL Hi,
Saw a write up on hackaday.com. I need one of these. When will the plans be printed.
This project covers three of my intrests: building/constuction/fabrication,
education/experiementation, and guns. This thing would be cooler to shoot at home. It won't cost less to
shoot than current air pistols (cost of consumer grade lead pellets are cheap) or airsoft; but, the
gauss pistol is far cheaper than any high end air pistold and must less troublesome than real pistol
(range time, gun rentals, cost of
bullets). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nICK hey,
i love the gauss pistol, i was wondering if you could sell kits to these things, not as a wepon, but as a nerdy
novelty.try an EMP cannon, i have old designs for one, never built one but looks bad ass, powered be
1 or 2 car
battaries --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan
Brennan Great job. This is a pretty hot I was wondering how heavy that power block under the muzzle is.
Since that looks like all the batteries, most of the capacitors, and a transformer, so I'd
imagine it's pretty hefty. Since I'm sure that would make it hard to aim accurately, it might
be better to balance that over the top of the gun, over the handle. Maybe in later versions you could move
the coils back too, that way the majority of the weight would be over the wrist, making use a bit
easier (kinda like the clip placement on the Calico M690). Though it definately looks alot
cooler like it is
now... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- naftali
eder seems really interesting, if you do put together a kit part for sale deppending on the price i would
definetaly be intersted. Keep up the good
work --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott
Knauert I'd seriously be interested in plans, parts, or a full kit. Just name the price and I'll buy. I've
been into coil guns awhile now, and always ran into problems making something impressive enough that
was portable. Great job! I bet with some minor modifications (like enhancing the flux, using square
magnetic wire, or better capacitors) you could get the velocity from 115 to 200 ft per
second. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mikezila A
kit for building one of these would be awesome. Just plans wouldn't be of any use to me, (I live in the
boondocks) but a kit that had everything ready to be put together has my name all over it. I
would buy two. It looks pretty heavy, but I bet I could hold two at once. Wonder if they'll
license you to carry one of those?
Hrm.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leonard
Simpson As a senior in electronics engineering, this type of project really interests me. We currently
have plans to construct a much larger version of a coil gun this year as a class project. The gun
itself looks great. The styling is rather fearsome if you didn't know it was a low power gun. I would be interested in purchasing a kit if one were available.
