摘要：
An electrothermal light gas gun (ELGG) has been developed that has launched 2.0 grams to about 7 km/sec, 10 grams to 4.6 km/sec, and 17 grams to 3.5 km/sec with an efficiency of 32%, from a 16 mm reusable steel gun tube. These initial experiments were with a single chamber breech fed launcher. The gun is scalable to large bore sizes and to date has close to the performance of a conventional light gas gun but removes the need for a heavy pump tube structure. It also has the potential to exceed conventional LGG performance when configured as a launcher with distributed H-2 injectors, and a facility to explore this has been constructed.
