"China Is Developing Deadly 'Magnetized Plasma..." Topic

… Artillery' (Worried?).

"Key Point: Dennis Killinger, a professor emeritus of physics at the University of South Florida, called the idea "intriguing." "The idea seems possible," he told the National Interest. "My main question is what is the lifetime of the plasma and is it sufficient during the launch time inside the barrel."

The Chinese military recently published a notice inviting researchers to devise a weapon that sounds like a sort of electromagnetic rail gun—which uses magnetism instead of gunpowder to fire shells—that several nations are developing. But actually deploying railguns has been hampered by the size of the weapon and especially the vast amount of electrical energy needed to propel a shell to speeds of greater than Mach 7. For example, despite years of research and vast sums of money, the U.S. Navy appears less than optimistic about fitting railguns on its warships…."
