America developed 'Star Wars' weapons, piercing concrete 100 miles away

A special weapon that could fire 10kgs of ammunition, moving at 5400 miles per hour and penetrating 3 thick concrete walls 100 miles away can be equipped by US Navy for warships invisible.

According to Daily Mail, this weapon uses electricity to accelerate the launch pad to speed 6-7 times the sound, not fire to fire bullets. Therefore, many experts have described it as "Star Wars" style weapon - like in the classic Star Wars series .

If all goes well, the US Navy will probably use this weapon right from 2018. "This weapon has enough strength and accuracy to penetrate 3 concrete walls or 6 continuous steel plates, each more than 1.2 cm thick ".

The development of "Star Wars" is so convenient that some Navy officials want to skip the stage of developing sea prototypes that directly install guns on one of their new generation giant battleships.

This weapon uses electricity to accelerate the launch pad to speed 6-7 times the sound.

How does the mechanism work?

What few people know is that the gun was first conceived nearly a century ago, as well as being patented by its owner - French inventor Louis Octave Fauchon-Villeplee.

Nazi Germany confiscated this research during World War II and sought to apply them to its air guns.

Guns use electricity , instead of gunpowder to accelerate the projectile launcher. Using the Lorenz Force electromagnetic force , the gun will accelerate the launch pad between the two grooves to generate electricity, before launching it at breakneck speed. This means that guns can fire farther than regular guns and the damage won't diminish.

The electromagnetic launcher is one of the important areas of research of the Strategic Defense Initiative founded by Ronald Reagan. It was codenamed "Star Wars" , with the whole idea of ​​using electricity instead of gunpowder and creating mechanical energy large enough to destroy the target. This is also the technology that holds the ability to create effective weapons but the cost is only a fraction of that of smart bombs or missiles.

Guns use electricity, instead of gunpowder to accelerate the projectile launcher.

US Navy Admiral Pete Fanta proposed the installation of a live gun model on the USS Lyndon B. Johnson, instead of deploying it on a smaller ship this year. However, the final decision has not yet been made.

"Due to the size, weight and energy requirements, some battleships will appear to be more suited to this technology than other warships," he said.

USS Lyndon B. Johnson was more than 182 meters long, using turbines similar to the engine of a Boeing 777, generating 78 megawatts of electricity to use for sensors, weapons and engines. Obviously, this source of electricity is more than enough to serve Star Wars guns .
