6 foot long Rocket Motor Test

[wocketman1629]

Was this just a scaled down test motor of 25,000NS? That would only put this motor in the lower range of "O" (20,480.01-40,960) , not "P". Do you know the actual NS of the motors that were used in the launch at Balls?

[mapukmapuk]

WOW nice zoom i thought you watching this from google earth LOL

[Landotter1]

WOWZERZ that thing is big.... Those pretty expensive? How much does it weigh? How much thrust in pounds? :-D What are those used for? Thanks in advance...

[Fourteen88SoCal]

Lets get 2 of those for my truck!!

[pogiguy05]

what no hotdogs and smores?

[aaron8862006]

SO many smartass wannabe comments on here. It's depressing!

[noxnflame]

Um... i think the engine is pointed the wrong way. You see, rockets go up not down.

[pogiguy05]

@noxnflame maybe they were trying to cause the pole shift? (yes I am joking sarcastically) ;-)

[Triplegack]

Um it's upside down u should turn it over and see what happens

[wdude100]

3 P motors... that wouldnt happen to be the 700 pound Black Brant, would it?

[panzuman]

terrible engine didnt make a single mach diomond

[VooDooRocketry]

It's a motor, no moving parts, and mach diamonds are often an indication of design problems. Not always, but at times diamonds are a bad sign.

[panzuman]

@VooDooRocketry motor and engine are interchangable terms and i thought that mach diomands where soley an indicator of exaughst speed.

[spacekip38]

@panzuman

you see the SRB's of the space shuttle make mach diamonds?

[456ner]

@panzuman so you can make somthing better? don''t think so. you don't wnt mach dimonds on ROCKET MOTORS

[Keennan3410]

awsome except for the fact that it wasnt in a rocket but damn......... even on the ground good camera angle 5 stars m8

[VooDooRocketry]

Mach diamonds have more to do with nozzle geometry, and speed related to that geometry as it rebounds......... Engines have moving parts, even if only one, motors do not, much like electric motors which only rotate based on magnetic curent. I have both rocket engines and motors. I like the engines, I use real tools to assemble them. I never interchange to keep everything straight.,,,,but some folks like to interchange.....like tissue and Kleenex.

[jmar1371]

Was that a Bates motor? Sure came up to pressure quickly. No hesitation, just instant on. Cu thermite initiator?

[VooDooRocketry]

Bates and Cu termite.

[adamalden]

Now all you guys need is a nuke!

[53rockets]

Message me back if this fits into a rocket...awsome.!

[skyisthelimitinc]

Great engine! 5 stars ++++

funny thing though, you have over 40.000 views and about 50 ratings, i got on my last vid 30-40 views and already 26 lowrates.lol, (im so hunted by flaggers)

[rikimaru517]

any1 for toasted marshmellows?

[soldoutrules]

mate, awesome video, and a really good motor, what propellant where you using?

[VooDooRocketry]

White motor, It's not mine but if the guys used the formula I thing they did it had moderate amounts of Al and a small percentage of chrome.

[VooDooRocketry]

Yes there was a nozzle, yes it was secured in a stand. Onlookers were 600 feet away.

I don't know how you came to your conclusions. Suffice this test was performed by people who know their business, and don't guess. ;-)

[soldoutrules]

yea stop being so critic, it didn't blow up or hurt anyone did it, anyone how dod you know he wasn't testing something other than it needed a nossle, you dont know do you

[geoffshred]

I have some experience with this stuff. Much of the fuel appears to be consumed outside the motor. One thing idiots don't understand is intellectual types. I say what I think because its what I think. Assholes.. I mean regular people, are too bust being assholes to think - and just say oooh ahh thats cool .. or just act like assholes. I say what I think, because I'm smart. Be an asshole all you like, its not going to make me any less smart.

[elgranto7]

if you fly that remember to put a onboard camera on please :)

[PeNGuiNer999]

you made cloud :)

[TopGunMan]

If i had a dollar for every piece of equipment Ive seen destroyed on youtube that I would find terribly useful, I could probably buy that engine :(

[redneckghettotech]

I NEED THIS NOW NOW NOW

[hotwheelsme]

someone got a light? lol

[AreaQNH870]

I've got a rocket in my pocket

[dontsend36]

Then you have a pocket on your rocket.

[Baahaska]

Was this the motor that got the impulse level reduced to "M" at the field?

[VooDooRocketry]

I *believe* that was an N something in a rocket which went awry. But the club is still around so it should be simple to ask about.

[cornstarching]

I need some1 to talk2... hit me up on my msn live messenger id jane22fall 3

[XTRUTHDRUMSX]

WHOA!! THATS WAS FREAKIN LOUD!! almost shit myself..had my speakers volume up to high hahahaha1

[dontsend36]

I hope your ass did not produce the same force & volume this rocket did... That would stink.

[nakazatoGTR]

i want to see it fly!

[doverdx]

roughly speaking:

M: 5k-10k Ns

N: 10k-20k Ns

O: 20k-40k Ns

P: 40k-80k Ns

So if it is a P you are looking at around 60k Ns, not 10k Ns. 3000 times the impulse of a D motor.

Looks like you're burning AP and alum, probably high metals content. What was your Isp? Around 230s?

[asmqb]

You can still hear after that, right? :s

[VooDooRocketry]

What?!?

[asmqb]

Like, that sounds deafening from here, behind the safety of a volume control mostly turned all the way down... surely it would make you go deaf, unless you wore ear protection...

[imkwl12345]

freakin woosh lol. duz anyone no how high that thing went? ummm has it went?

[dtechdude]

im guessing thats a solid fuel engine because it was only 7 seconds of burning. Like all solid fuel engines, quite powerful, but short burning time.

[torofighter]

omg frikkkin amazing

[duster1214]

Nice man!!! even tho that problely cost like a thousnd dollars or so.....but really kool!!!

[EvilPrince69]

More like $2500

[crzyHiPpQ]

just put a furby on it and let the aliens have fun with it.

[Coldcorp]

Thats one way to cook meat.

[mavamaarten]

you can cook a hole cow !

[ddejau]

lmao

[amagsa2]

i know i have no clue what im talking about but that seemed like a short burn

[DTHRocket]

Yeah, well it probably has a high impulse anyway.

[alphadeltaforce]

where did you get the HTPB from to make the apac

[VooDooRocketry]

It's only liquid rubber, available at some EX launches.....the proper curative is the real trick to obtain. ;-)

[alphadeltaforce]

what do you meen? By EX launches and also what is the curative?? Is it not just simply a mix of AP aluminium and HTPB (or what i now know as liquid rubber!

[VooDooRocketry]

I see you're not from US. EX are experimental launches. Go to lokiresearch dot com look under literature for the composites book. Read many times before doing anything. Do it safe.

[alphadeltaforce]

oh ryt thanks, yh from UK and its more dificult to get hold of many things i need with out a licence and a lot of cash!! Thanks, again

[alphadeltaforce]

What are the ratios of the mix of AP, aluminium and HTPB?

[sempertard]

~8 sec burn. Was that traditional APCP, with bates grains? Also, what did you use for nozzle material?

[VooDooRocketry]

Yes, yes and graphite.

[gobidee]

it would be funny if it catoed.....

[AirsoftLife]

lol indeed. i would feel quite bad for the bystanders, though...

[falkson10]

how did u make that

[Gobobo24]

Twatting fook!

[apolloscam]

I think you changed the Earth's orbit.

[CASULA999]

with this rocket you can fly a cat xD

[skyseeker901]

yea...you could fly a cat...into ORBIT!

[Risefotruth]

damn

[DMarc85]

holy shit!

[greysplash]

you can get O's

[drunkencommunist]

awsome dude that was all like shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and the like pfffffffffffffffff and then poof

[3109]

I was at METRA the day that static fire was conducted. The best part was when the smoke cloud from the motor temporarily blocked out the sun!

[pyrotechnaguy]

no sun glasses ever needed again there

[AnthraxINC666]

Yes all P motors are experimental. CTI has a certified O motor the O5100. I won't tell you where you can get the P motor casing but I do know where to get one. Also this was a P motor test for Wedge Oldhams full scale Black Brant II which was powered by three P motors yes three P motors.

[sdbound182]

nice!

[poindej]

Awesome burn!

[quadrunner06]

where can i get a P impulse engine?

[poindej]

I think the largest motor available is an "N" designation. P's are still experimental, I believe.
