The competition was judged on muzzle velocityof the projectile, safety of the gun, and appearance (the coil gun will be used for recruiting andneeded to have style!). Wikipedia has a nice explanation of what is a coil gun and is a goodstarting point in researching the design [6].The coil guns had a few specifications limiting the total capacitance, voltage limit, power source,barrel length, and projectile. Beyond these, the teams had full autonomy to design their guns, andeach team came up with a slightly different gun. Proceedings of the 2024

Stanford’s drivingforce in aeronautics research was Dr. William Durand. Durand managed to get Stanfordto build a wind tunnel suitable for testing propellers. As a result, some of the mostsignificant work for the NACA was being performed at Stanford. Stanford asked for$330,000 and received $195,000 which was funded simultaneously with Caltech so theschools would not compete for students if one received funds before the other.
