Too small, and too high-gee for our purposes.
I'm looking for a coil-gun in the fifty foot diameter range, to be installed along a mountain range like the first climb on a roller-coaster. Gee force no greater than ten gees.
It will have to be about a hundred miles long, and we'll have to scale up a bit from "current" technology.

100 miles? Only 10G? Exactly how fast do you think this thing needs to be?
