Mark II

After Mark I showing that it is possible to accelerate plasma using a rail gun, Mark II was then made.

improvements were a more permanent layout, a box protecting the circuitry, and bolts connecting holding the rail gun together. Mark II operated using a wall switch to fire, a button to charge, and alligator clips that attach to Mark II afterwards connected to a resistor to discharge remaining energy. There was no microcontroller in this device.

The picture here is the process converting Mark II to Mark III.

 

Addition of bolts helped to further control the plasma
