There is a great site which explains how to do all kinds of things, dangerouslyfun.com. I was always wondering about gaussian guns principles and simple ways to make them… and here we go:

I found the tutorial with video explaining how to make simple gaussian gun at dangerouslyfun.com, so, I guess, I’ll spend some time on this site.
This is “how-to” from there:
- Place the neodymium magnets on the track and place four or five ball bearings in a line touching one side of the magnets.
- Place one more ball bearing on the opposite side of the magnets, far enough away that it isn’t pulled toward the magnets.
- When you are ready to fire it, nudge the single ball bearing so it slowing rolls toward the magnets.
- You can also set several of these up in a chain; each one will fire the next with increasing speed.
