The Rail Gun Project

[goober]

Caltech SEDS has been working, in furtive spurts, on a rail gun. View http://www.its.caltech.edu/~seds/lab/railgun.html to learn more.

Anyway, it needs your help. Post and talk about it.

So what, might I ask, is this rail gun for??? Research, no doubt.

It'd be cool to try and strap a (sturdy) rocket to it and experiment with fast air launches and such. Kinda like a low-altitude version of the "Rockoon."
