Electromagnetic coil series capacitor

Most commonly, WPT circuits use electromagnetic coupling between coils. These WPT circuits use capacitors to reduce reactive power. Figure 2 is a commonly chosen series–series capacitor representation which has been widely used because the capacitances can be chosen independent of the load and coupling conditions.

Why should a multi-stage coil gun be set to a low-capacitance capacitor?

In the case of a multi-stage coil gun, setting this period is limited by the number of turns and capacitance because the acceleration time depends on the projectile’s initial velocity. This adjustment may be good for energy conversion efficiency because the circuit can be configured with a low-capacitance capacitor.

What is a capacitor-driven inductance coil gun?

The electromagnetic FEA model of the capacitor-driven inductance coil gun was constructed to be able to optimize the coil's dimensions. The driving circuit was implemented as a dynamic model for the simulation of current. The coil gun was not designed for really shooting applications, i.e. the projectile is accelerated to a relatively low speed.

What is the capacitance of a solenoid coil?

In cases where a solenoid coil is constructed using a copper wire with a large diameter since the corresponding self-resistance and inductance of the coil are low, a capacitance of at least 7000 uF is required to match the RLC function’s period. However, the corresponding supplied current’s magnitude increases.

How many capacitors should be charged in a nine-stage coil gun?

Since a total of nine capacitors of the nine-stage coil gun should be charged, we developed a device that connects and disconnects the capacitors during charging using a relay to reduce the errors caused by the difference in the charging amounts of individual capacitors.

What is the capacitance of a coil gun?

Therefore, a capacitance of 3000 uF, which is a capacity less than half of that of a coil gun system configured using a 1.7 mm diameter copper wire, was used to match the RLC period. However, the magnetic flux density transferred from the coil gun’s solenoid coil to the projectile increased. Thus, there was no significant velocity difference.

How are coils used in magnetic manipulation systems?

These coils are used in magnetic manipulation systems by adjusting the amplitude of the current [Kummer 2010]. Pulsewidth modulation (PWM) is the most frequently used technique to control the current, since it provides high efficiency, low power loss, and robustness to noise [Ma 2003].
