The vid contradicts itself almost immediately, saying one of the restrictions on US weapons to Ukraine has been range (true), and then the railgun for Ukraine is stated to have a range of several hundred miles. As if Elon would not be subject to US arms shipments restrictions...
This sort of discrepancy almost always means the source is unreliable.
The whole format these type vids use is also a giveaway. When the dramatic music begins, I know to leave. ;-)
“One of the restrictions on US weapons to Ukraine has been range (true), and then the railgun for Ukraine is stated to have a range of several hundred miles.”
I found the “Elon’s Musk Electromagnetic Railgun a fascinating invention. The video states Musk’s interest was not just for weaponry, but also a cheap way to launch Starlink satellites into orbit created his interest in the project.
Anyway, I found the possibility of developing the railgun with potential projectile capable of reaching hypersonic speeds using KINETIC ENERGY totally amazing. Apparently, the Chinese has designed a version [6:00] for sea deployment when the huge landing ship the hayanshun enterS service in the Chinese navy [6:07].
IF ONLY the using kinetic energy would be used to develop the 300 megawatt battery to power 500 000 households for one hour!!! What a transformation for the power grid. [9:37] The potential utilization of KINETIC ENERGY for a positive energy application just amazes me.
