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

  • @MorganGreen2

    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.

  • Solid Propellant

  • 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...
