Introduction
The reason why capacitors cannot be used as a replacement for batteries is due to their limited energy storage duration, rapid voltage decay, and lower energy density. Electromagnetic catapults utilize powerful magnetic fields to propel objects at high velocities, serving as an innovative solution for launching aircraft and other materials. The system is typically used on aircraft carriers to launch fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft.
