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 9):
The electromagnetic launcher of  claim 7 , further comprising\n a pair of rails positioned along the guideway and including a positive rail and a negative rail; conductive contacts attached to the projectile and configured to movably support the projectile on the pair of rails, wherein the conductive contacts include\n a first set of connectors configured to connect a first end of the rotor coils to the positive rail and a second end of the rotor coils to the negative rail so that an electric current travels through the rotor coils thereby inducing an electromagnetic field about the rotor, and \n a second set of connectors connecting a first end of the stator coils to the positive rail and a second end of the stator coils to the negative rail so that a current travels through the stator coils thereby inducing an electromagnetic field between the first end of the stator coils and the second end of the stator coils.
