An Electromagnetic Railgun is a type of weapon that uses electromagnetic forces to launch projectiles at high speeds. Unlike traditional guns that rely on chemical propellants, railguns use electricity to create magnetic fields that accelerate a conductive projectile along two parallel rails. This technology allows for greater range and speed, making it a subject of interest for military applications. Railguns are often considered for use in naval ships and other military platforms due to their potential for high-velocity strikes without the need for explosive materials. Research and development in this area are ongoing, with organizations like the U.S. Navy exploring their practical applications.
