Abstract
A launcher and projectile system include at least one permanent magnet disposed on or within the launcher for charging a wire coil of the projectile to energize an initiator of the projectile, thereafter having a housing of the projectile rupture, disintegrate, separate or otherwise have an opening created therein after launch to release a payload. In another embodiment, an accessory for a launcher and projectile is provided, the accessory comprising a permanent magnet for charging a projectile that is launched by the launcher.
Claims6
A projectile and launcher system,
- said launcher comprising a launch axis and at least one permanent magnet,
- said projectile comprising a housing, a payload, a conductive wire coil, a moveable ram and an initiator,
- wherein said at least one permanent magnet is magnetically aligned with said launch axis such that it induces a current in the conductive wire coil of the projectile during launch of said projectile,
- wherein said initiator is activated by said current,
- and wherein said activated initiator causes said projectile housing to rupture, disintegrate, separate or otherwise have an opening created therein after launch and release said payload.
An accessory for a launcher for removable attachment to a projectile launcher of a projectile, which projectile comprises a coil of wire, an initiator, a moveable ram, and a payload,
- said accessory for a launcher capable of removable attachment with said launcher,
- said launcher comprising a launch axis,
- said accessory for a launcher comprising a launch axis, and at least one permanent magnet,
- wherein said launch axis of said accessory for a launcher is physically aligned with said launch axis of said launcher to facilitate launch of the projectile,
- wherein said at least one permanent magnet of said accessory for a launcher is magnetically aligned with said launch axis of said launcher such that said magnet may induce a current in the conductive wire coil of the projectile during launch of said projectile,
- wherein said initiator of said projectile is activated by said current,
- and wherein said activated initiator causes said projectile housing to rupture, disintegrate, separate or otherwise have an opening created therein after launch and release a payload.
