…coils reduces resistance by up to a third (Barros). Decreasing resistance increases magnetic field energy by increasing current. While coil guns may not be as efficient as deflagrating gunpowder, it is definitely cool to think that one can fire high speed projectiles silently using only some wire and a power source. If more research is done and efficiency is increased, asynchronous linear induction motors could definitely revolutionize transportation, weaponry, and all sorts of other industries.
