"Realistic" gauss weapons come in two flavours: rail-guns and coil-guns. ![]() It is universally agreed that "Gauss" is a cool name, and so you can bet dollars to donuts that any sci-fi gizmo with any sort of vaguely electromagnetic theme will have the word "gauss" in it.īy the way, if an electromagnetic weapon doesn't have "gauss" in its name, it's a fair bet that it has the word " Tesla" in it, after another cool-sounding unit of magnetic field strength, itself named for Nikola Tesla, a famed inventor and scientist who did cool stuff with electromagnetism. His work in calculus was (and is) invaluable to the study of electromagnetism, so he got a unit of magnetic field strength named after him. Gauss is the last name of Carl Friedrich Gauss, one of the greatest mathematicians in history. "Only my RAILGUN can shoot it." – fripSide ( A Certain Scientific Railgun)įIRST AND FOREMOST: It is pronounced such that it rhymes with "house".
