I was at the scrap yard and thought of an intresting idea. You get about 5, 1/2 horsepower electric motors. Then you take out the rotor/Armature. and replace with a long PVC pipe. In effect, the stator windings will be around the PVC pipe. Then I'll have very powerful electromagnets for a coil gun. The problem is how would I energize the stators? I would need some kind of timer and switching circuit, and should I use photo capacitors?
Please comment on this idea.
