Gauss Howitzer – Educational Magnetic Accelerator Model

The Gauss Howitzer is an educational magnetic accelerator designed to demonstrate fundamental physics concepts—most notably the law of conservation of momentum. It is not a weapon, but a tabletop learning tool that visually illustrates how kinetic energy can be transferred through a sequence of interacting objects.

The device uses a strong neodymium magnet and steel balls to accelerate a lightweight projectile (e.g. Airsoft BB) placed in the barrel. When released, a steel ball is attracted to t
