Abstract:
An electromagnetic launcher with a curved or spiral-shaped, open-ended guideway and conductors for launching a projectile. The projectile, movably retained on or within the guideway, is accelerated along the guideway using electromagnetic forces until it reaches an end of the guideway, then the projectile is launched in a desired direction. The direction of the launch of the projectile is determined by orienting the guideway in the desired direction using an actuator.

Claim (Index 1):
An electromagnetic launcher for accelerating a projectile comprising:\n conductive material configured to receive electric current such that the electric current induces a magnetic field along the electromagnetic launcher for accelerating the projectile; and a guideway supporting the conductive material and forming a circular path for accelerating the projectile, the guideway having a portion along the circular path that is jointed and disconnectable from a remainder of the circular path at an end of the portion so that the portion is operable to be straightened thereby forming a straight path through which the projectile may exit the electromagnetic launcher.
