✦ Synopsis


The characteristic of a very high quality railgun HYPAC (10 kV, 6,000 g F, 300 kJ) at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) which is capable of accelerating a 1-2 gram projectile of 10-20 mm diameter made of polycafl~onate to a hypen,elocity of 7.8 km/sec and its utilization in hypen,elocity impact experiments are reviewed. Also shown are further efforts to increase the velocity, to improve the quality of flae projectile such as the acceleration of metal powder and to explore a new application of this facility.
