Explore the forefront of defense technology with NettleSmart’s spin-off project, Coilgun. This groundbreaking initiative combines expertise in electromagnetism, advanced isolation materials, and novel composites like graphene to develop a multilayer composite with supercapacitor characteristics. Our bioplastics and biocomposites are chosen for their superior isolation properties, lightweight nature, and durability.
The concept of the coilgun is fully functional. We are now optimizing its performance by finding the best settings between power output, coil winding, number of coils, barrel length, and projectile weight. Following the principle of kinetic energy Ek=1/2mv^2, we prioritize speed over mass by using lightweight, extremely hard projectiles.
We envision a seamless integration of coilgun technology with drones, paving the way for advanced defense capabilities and scientific exploration. This high-tech synergy will redefine the standards of modern defense systems.
We are currently seeking pre-seed funding for a six-month sprint to validate our concepts and manufacturing capabilities. This crucial phase will focus on optimizing our coilgun technology, integrating biocomposites, and preparing for large-scale production.
