I wonder how big the donations to foundations were for this technology?

If they start building battleships armed with them we will need to do the same.
To: FreedomStar3028
No way they invented it, since the USS Zumwalt is on sea trials right now and has one on board.

Big deal, I made one out of some electromagnets made from wooden spools, copper wire, and a pencil as a projectile when I was in grade school 40+ years ago.
The engineering problems and questions involved in making a _practical_ gun are big. How large are the capacitors? How long do they last? Where does the power to charge them come from? How long does the barrel last? What does the cooling system look like? What happens if “something goes wrong” with the control electronics (hint: the energy has to go...somewhere)... so, having one in a lab shoot one time vs having one that can shoot at least several times a minute that is reasonably portable, maintainable, and relatively safe to the operators are two different things.

The wooden spools attract the wooden pencil when energized by the copper windings?

The horizon looks real. The ship stopped in the water? Not so much.

Yeah, a piece of plastic moved by EM forces. Uh huh. /anyone know ANYTHING about physics? //SHEESH
And the video includes images from a TRANSFORMERS movie to show what it can do. ///SHEESH
Lastly, one of their clips is from a History Channel show about a US rail gun that actuall worked — 10 or so years ago. ////SHEESH X 1,000
