Abstract
A projectile and launcher include coil of wire and a control board, an energy storage means and a timing circuit for delaying separation of the projectile. The launcher permits adjustment the launch velocity of the barrel for achieving a particular level of charge of the projectile as it is inductively charged by a magnetic field. The control board may include sensors such as barometric, proximity, acoustic, infrared and the like. The initiation of the payload release can be as a result of inputs from such sensors in addition to low voltage or particular energy programming which may occur prior to launch. The launcher may also include a range finding means that can detect a distance to target.
