The ballistics device- Potato Cannon
Abstract: Spud guns, also known as potato cannons, represent a fascinating intersection of ingenuity, physics, and recreational engineering. This paper delves into the dynamics, construction, and potential applications of spud guns. These devices typically consist of a combustion chamber, a barrel, and a triggering mechanism. The propulsion system involves igniting a gaseous mixture, often generated from aerosol propellants or other combustible materials, which propels a projectile—usually a potato or similar object—out …

An Overview of Heavy-ion Collisions
Abstract: AbstractA large number of experiments have been performed to explore the heavy-ion collisions dynamics using accelerator facilities available in India. The experimental results have revealed that in reactions induced by nucleons or light particles at energies of the order of a few tens MeV, the great majority of the processes one observes are of statistical nature though they cannot be interpreted as a consequence of the decay of a fully …

Mathematical Modelling of Electromagnetic Induction Coil gun for Non-Lethal Self Defence Applications
Abstract: To take someone's life is often termed as the biggest slanders spiritually one can commit be it while protecting one's self from endangering acts. Non-lethal weapons provide us with an opportunity to come over this dilemma thereby providing a numbing effect to save from devastating consequences. The objective of this paper is to present a non-lethal portable induction coilgun that can potentially address security concerns. To serve the respect and …
