Performance Evaluation on Two Wing Ring Type Armature with Inductive Type Electromagnetic Launching System

Electromagnetic launching is one of the intriguing features studied by numerous research institutions worldwide. Electromagnetic launching is only possible when flux lines flow through the moving object. The moving flux lines flow creates magnetic interference with the control components inside it. This is the major drawback of electromagnetic launching technology. To overcome this drawback, a different combinations of armature shape and electromagnetic principles are needed. This paper concentrates the use of electromagnetic induction principle for propelling the object. A Two-wing Ring type Armature is designed, which can accommodate any type of material inside the ring. The magnetic field is induced on to the wings of the armature. This helps is reducing the amount of magnetic interference into the material which needs a propulsion. This paper presents a ring-type armature feasible for EM launching. This phenomenon has shown positive results in reducing the electromagnetic interference on the sensitive electronics components of the projectile. The Armature 3D model has been developed in ANSYS 2021 Electronics Workbench. This paper helps in understanding various magnetic characteristics of the two wing ring-type armature.
