A method for accelerating a projectile and traffic jam tube accelerator for its implementation

摘要

A bearing is arranged coaxially with the acceleration tube for accommodating the stationary projectile before its acceleration. The bearing is fitted inside the rear end of the chamber (3) and a device is provided for opening the chamber rear end behind the projectile. The bearing (10) is open on its rear side and behind the projectile (4) is a displaceable piston (6). This piston is formed as a releasable located closure plug in the outlet of the damming channel, and the accelerator tube (1) extends to behind the bearing. The chamber with membranes (2) is arranged for an internal pressure of more than approximately 100 bars. USE/ADVANTAGE - In the firing of projectiles, using a simplified tube accelerator and eliminating the need for pre-acceleration.
