Portal “Russian Gazetvy” rg.ru writes about railgun test in China.
Several Chinese blogs, dedicated to the Navy People's Liberation Army of China have published information about the giant artillery tower, which was installed on the landing craft type 072 “Khaiyanshani” tail number 936.

Experts agree, what, likely, Railgun is shipborne, ie electromagnetic gun, disperse metal ingot to a speed, they spread any target “in the dust”.
In favor of the version of the railgun is also the fact, that the gun barrel has a double outer diameter – thicker at the base and tapering to muzzle gun.
Besides, behind the tower, two large container set, which may be the power supply rail gun and fire control elements.
If we are really talking about railgun, China will become the first country in the world, that will test these weapons in the sea.
It should be added, China reported on the work of the electromagnetic gun back in October of last year. Scientists are engaged in the Maritime University of Engineering People's Liberation Army of China.
Active work on creation of the railgun carried out in Russia and in the US.
In America, this issue deals with the research laboratory of the US Navy in the summer of last year in a video has been posted from the network of fire such an installation.
In Russia, the creation of the railgun weapons involved in the lab of pulsed energy effects on matter in a Moscow Shatura.
Maximum velocity of the projectile, which has been achieved on the national development, was 11 km / s. but, because of the huge energy construction parts wear out as quickly as possible. materials Search, that could withstand such loads, It is now the main challenge for scientists.
Notably, that the Orthodox TV channel “Tsarigrad” He became one of the mouthpieces of Russian defense industry. So once again he graced us with material about the domestic version of the railgun.

Editorial According to the TV channel. In the Joint Institute for High Temperatures (OIVT) Russian Academy of Sciences, scientists were able to achieve power 4,8 megajoules in a pilot plant plasma railgun. Yes, a success, agreed interlocutor “Constantinople”, pertaining to this work. And the success of a solid: for two years, the power of this installation was able to raise 6 times.
The mechanism is really simple. two electrodes, they are “rails”. One of them is fed a constant current high power. After the fuse-link current rushes to the second electrode. Somewhat similar to the arc with electric welding. Only here insert instantly burns, forming a plasma cloud. This is a plasma piston. Through the plasma continues to go electric current. As a result, a strong magnetic field. All this together produces electromagnetic Lorentz force, which pushes the charge with an acceleration.
The Americans are close to the result in the creation of an electromagnetic gun, which is already being tested. So, in February 2008 year figures have been achieved in 10 megajoules of muzzle energy and 2,5 km / s speed. It reported the successful testing close to serial samples railgun prototype 32 megajoules. With this, you can run a shell on 180 km.
Such a weapon appears necessary in the light of the approaching era of hypersonic missiles. now available means they are virtually nesbivaemy– nedogonyaemye, radioneprobivaemye, electronic uncatchable. But a swarm gram bullets on the way– Assured Destruction.
