Technology Associates Inc.(remembered)
The EternaLight assets of Technology Associates, Inc.
have been transfered to EternaLights, LLC. All orders
and services issues will be handled by them.
History:
In 1992,
Thomas Hoops and Derone Bryson founded Technology Associates.
In 1994, their partnership incorporated under the name
of Technology Associates, Inc. Between 1993 and 2000,
Technology Associates successfully operated a small
chain of computer stores in the Reno/Sparks area which sold
and serviced computers.
Technology Associates was also one of the founding investors
in Great Basin Internet Services (GBIS), Northern Nevada's Largest
Independent internet service provider. In 1998, TA divested itself
of GBIS. In 2000, TA divested itself of it's retail stores
to pursue manufacturing of the EternaLight flashlight
and other related and unrelated products developed by Thomas Hoops
and Derone Bryson. In 2007,
the organization formerly known as Technology
Associates, Inc., founded by Thomas Hoops and
Derone Bryson in 1992 ceased to exist.
This site is still a
functioning sales platform for the EternaLight products
manufactured and sold by EternaLights, LLC. However,
the remainder of the site remains as it was in it's finality before
the closing of Technology Associates, Inc.
Today Mr. Bryson is privately employed as a Software Engineer. Mr. Hoops
is privately employed in a manufacturing company as
it's CTO. After working together since 1990, through their various
projects and partnerships, Mr. Hoops and Mr. Bryson are still best friends
and continue to explore new opportunities together.

Home Made "Magno" Launcher

How would one shoot somthing say, as small as a bb threw somthing like a drinking straw?
Electromagnatize a spring inside the straw with a magnatized bb at the bottom of the coil forcing the bb to travel, spiraling along the "spring threads", and gaining speed and then out the end??

Our gauss gun plans acutally use a soda straw to shoot a BB. So, I might as well not say anymore or we would end up just giving the plans away for free! However, I'm not aware of this other method you describe with a spring. | |

a soda straw not usable for real coil gun. I try it. Coil hotting. Straw melted. You can see pfotos of my coil gun with bronze foil burrel on site:

I imagine this straw gauss gun is made one of two ways:
Linear coil
Linear pull-push phases
In a coil gun, there are stages of coils that are made into electromagnets, which pull the projectile in oscillations.(on long enough to pull, then off while the next coil is turned on).
Coil guns can be breech loaded or muzzle loaded, I suppose.
In a push-pull, which are muzzle loaded I assume, a series of electromagnets with intermediate non-magnetic items build up speed by smacking into one another till power is built up on the loaded projectile, which fires(normal magnets can be used, depending on design).
