moralist Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 That principle is also used in weaponry. The Navy is developing a rail gun that can accelerate a projectile to Mach 7 velocity in milliseconds, with a range of over 100 miles. No explosive propellant can match that incredible performance. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/the-navy-shows-off-its-futuristic-railgun/ Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would exceed escape velosity on the moon and would be a way to launch things from the moon without using a chemical reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
