Interesting launching of rocket videos on the site.  Neat stuff!  As a point of safety though I think I would clamp or bolt the launching coil down.  The way it keeps landing on top of the capacitor bank and transformer/coil/whatever would worry me just a bit… 😉

   Wow. Wouldn’t it be neat if you could use the EM to launch the rocket, and then have a regular solid fuel motor cut in? Might be an interesting way to launch missiles from airplanes, except it could play hob hell with the onboard electronics.
