I Have a buddy who has successfully developed carbon fiber flywheels which would be used to supply massive amounts of energy for these weapons and many other uses. He is involved in some high tech stuff. Owns GTS, http://gts.us.com/ .... pretty crazy stuff

BAE= Big And Expensive

Rail guns are particularly useful to shoot down satellites & possibly ICBM's with nuclear weapons on them if the guns are in space. I "think" that was part of Pres. Reagan's "Star Wars" program.

We have BAE on "Secure/Sensitive" Programs SAP/SAR
So: here is the "skinny" on how it is accomplished:

BAE Systems Inc. (formerly BAE Systems North America) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the British defence and aerospace company BAE Systems plc. As per its Special Security Agreement, BAE Systems Inc. operates as a semi-autonomous business unit within BAE Systems controlled at a local level by American management.
