Daily Mail: US Navy reveals the latest test of 'Star Wars' electromagnetic railgun that fires projectiles at 4,500mph and can penetrate concrete 100 miles away
* Railgun exceeds accelerations of Mach 6, which is six times the speed of sound
* It uses electromagnetic energy to propel a metal projectile at huge speeds
* Powerful missiles are fuelled by a 'pulse power system' and ship electricity
* Navy has been working on the gun since 2005 and say it is the future of warfare
The US Navy has revealed the latest tests of a radical electromagnetic gun that can fire projectiles at six times the speed of sound.
Described as 'Star Wars technology' by researchers, these powerful missiles don't rely on chemical propellants and are fuelled by electricity alone.
Strong magnetic fields a 'pulse power system' is used to send propellants flying at 4,500mph, and the technology has previously been shown to penetrate concrete at 100 miles away.
