Abstract

The electromagnetic launcher is a specific type of electromechanical converter. Electrical energy from the power supply, discharging in the pulse way, is used for acceleration a moveable element (bullet). The electromagnetic launchers are widely used in applications ranging from military applications and ending on the basic research on the physical properties of materials. This paper presents the results of research conducted in the Department of Mechatronics, which included an analysis of the mathematical model (field-circuit) of the hybrid electromagnetic launcher with pneumatic assist. The purpose of this article is to present the results of simulations.
