nice work mate.

Outstanding!!!!

@tube087 thats totally wickedd!!!!!

No... there is nothing that restricts the mixing and assembly of rocket motors. There are some restrictions on CERTAIN chemicals like aluminum.

Nice static test. Are you gathering any thrust or pressure data at all? I'm curious why it took so long to come up to pressure. We spent a lot of time coming up with a fast full-grain ignition system. Drop me a note if you want the specs.

The US is less crowded so it is less off a hazard to do these things. Also our history is rebellious and we get mad at people who try to push us around.
-
Uhhh, we are free? Duh? There is a reason that we left the British rule a couple hundred years ago.

I don't understand why in the US you guys are allowed to assemble your own motors where as in the UK it is strictly prohibeted. No offence but I would have thought the US would be MORE paranoid about that kind of thing than us...


whats the point of this? no no no, what is it? whats it for? a rocket thing. enlighten me.

What is the point? The point is to do a "Static Test" of proprietary formula of a solid rocket motor mix. It is to test for pressure and thrust. All rocket motor manufactures test their motors many times before installing in a rocket. That would include NASA! I think this is called "Rocket Science"! And yes it is for a rocket!
And yes we flew it in a National Rocket meet. That's what we do!

as cool as it is? why do you guys static test expensive motors is the data valuable? just getting into MPR thanks

Because these are hand built motors! The formulas must be tested for safety and reliability

Wow. What kind of motor is it? Solid propellant? Hybrid? Liquid? I'd be curious.
