Abstract :
When the limiting case of a distributed energy store railgun is analyzed, (i.e. the case where the space between adjacent energy stores become indefinitely small) three important results are obtained. First, the shape of current pulse delivered by each store is sinusoidal with an exponential tail. Secondly, the rail-to-rail voltage behind the rearmost active store approaches zero. Thirdly, it is not possible to choose parameters in such a way that capacitor crowbars can be eliminated
