Abstract
This paper presents a new design of an electromagnetic launch system which solves the weakness of previous designs. The presented system is based on Halbach array arrangements of permanent magnets. In the first part of paper are presented the railgun and coilgun designs and the weakness are identified. Based on this observation a new design is presented. In order to analyze the interaction between all elements of this design was used an interactive software package based on finite element method (FEM) to analyze, solve 3D electromagnetic field problems, and simulate the movement of Halbach array armature. The interaction between all elements of the design was checked for six values of current in conductors I = {100, 300, 500, 700, 900, 1100} A. All simulation data confirm this new design has a great potential of development.
