Hi!
 
I think there is an error in the article cited:
 
 To  convert it to a workable device required the development of radio 
components  rugged enough to withstand an acceleration force 20,000 times 
stronger than  normal earth’s gravity and a centrifugal force set up by 
approximately  500 rotations per second.
 
Pretty fast rotation, probably should be 500 RPM. Otherwise the rotating 
band would strip right through the barrel lands of  the cannon.
 
 
Regards,
Jeff Kruth
