Mark III

Mark II was a good working device, but needed more improvements to be used effectively in an experiment. That was when we added a microcontroller to better control the charging process, also for safety reasons. That was the major change, it still uses the same charging supply and rail gun.

Another improvement was in the wire connections to the rail gun, resulting in minimal arcing, thus more energy transferred to the plasma.

 

The picture here is a prototype test layout of Mark III connected to a computer.
