DIY garage railgun

Colorado Springs, CO maker Ravi Gaddipati has been working on a railgun for the better part of a year. The photo above shows a shot from version one -- with the projectile going plasma! Now he's now working on version two, which packs an even more impressive capacitor bank -- forty caps each rated at 400v and 3900µf.
