Abstract
This paper proposes a novel single-stage double-layer saddle multipole field electromagnetic launcher (SSDFEL), which combines the characteristics of reconnection gun to achieve simultaneous linear acceleration and gyroscopic stabilization of the projectile. Since the saddle driving coils are divided into two layers, the magnetic field density inside the launcher is enhanced. The eddy current induced on the inner and outer surfaces of the projectile is greatly changed by the hollow cylindrical projectile with six symmetrical vertical slots twisted at a certain angle, and the projectile is simultaneously propelled to perform rotation motion and linear motion. In this paper, the electromagnetic field finite-element software is used to simulate and calculate this model. The simulation results indicated that the double-layer driving coil distribution has larger axial acceleration force and bigger circumferential torque than that of the single-layer driving coil distribution, the energy conversion efficiency has also been obviously increased, and there is an optimal initial twisted angle, which accelerates the projectile to the peak of rotation. To verify the results, an SSDFEL was established and tested. The experiment results confirm that the rotation performance can be affected by the initial twisted angle and a better launching effect is achieved than a single-layer distribution. In general, the experimental results are in agreement with the simulation results.
