Abstract
A launcher and projectile system include at least one magnet disposed on or within the launcher for charging a wire coil of the projectile to energize 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 magnet for charging a projectile that is launched by the launcher. The strength of magnetic field of the magnet may be adjusted for selective performance of the projectile.
Claims17
A projectile and launcher system,
- said launcher comprising a launch axis and at least one magnet,
- said projectile comprising a housing, a payload, a conductive wire coil, a control circuit and an energizable energy storage means,
- wherein said at least one magnet is magnetically aligned with said launch axis,
- wherein said energy storage means is at least partially energized by the at least one magnet,
- and wherein, after launch of said projectile, said projectile housing ruptures, disintegrates, separates or otherwise has an opening created therein and releases said payload.
A projectile and launcher system,
- said launcher comprising a launch axis and at least one magnet, said projectile comprising a housing, a payload, a conductive wire coil, and an initiator,
- wherein said at least one 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,
- and wherein said projectile housing ruptures, disintegrates, separates or otherwise has an opening created therein after launch and releases a payload.
A launcher accessory,
- said launcher accessory comprising at least one magnet and,
- said launcher accessory removably attachable to a launcher, said launcher comprising a launch axis,
- wherein said at least one magnet is magnetically aligned with said launch axis of said launcher when said accessory is attached to said launcher.
