Circular Electromagnetic Accelerator: A Novel Approach for High-Velocity Propulsion

Om Patil

Abstract: Historically, linear electromagnetic acceleration models have been used to accelerate feasible objects; they faced the limitation of large area requirements and a limited amount of momentum being generated. As a result, electromagnetic propulsion is avoided in accelerating objects with high mass, as a large area is required to accelerate them to the limiting velocity of the model. To counter these problems, inspiration has been taken from the coil gun mechanism and the LHC has been taken. The following model has been proposed through research into different accelerator models and their mechanisms. In this paper, a circular electromagnetic accelerator model has been proposed. Since it is circular, limited area is required, and because the object loops repeatedly, objects with higher masses can be accelerated to significant velocities. In this model, all resistive forces have been dealt with, resulting in seamless looping of the object. Due to this, the model solves the problem of accelerating high-mass objects via electromagnets to the limiting velocity of the model in a confined space.
