Ya Magnumb we are on the same page. I have some concepts worked out using sim software but its on the electrical side, not the mechanical side, of which im not to well versed.

an issue im having is trying to find out how fast the piston head has to move forward to create enough pressure to get the fps, then converting that using the weight and perm of material used in piston head. Also, with the simulations ive ran, I experience aprox 81% efficiency.

The charge level wouldn't matter so much if it were lipoly as they maintain a fairly steady charge. The issue with the capacitors charging speed is also one I have been working on, I believe by either adding a bank of smaller ones to equal the larger amount required.

The field strength does not even need to be too larger as 1J is not hard to reach.
