This is the AMROC, American Rocket Company, hybrid demo motor that has been fired all over the country. Now that we have HD - we thought we'd shoot a good video

This runs through to the point of the regulator failing, when the flow through the motor spikes, and the motor takes off down the table.

Don't do this at home...

  • @Combatraffi There are two copper wires running into a space behind the fuel grain. Between the wires is a small wad of steel wool (OOOO). The reason I wiggle the wire is I'm trying to get a spark in the steel wool, which in the pure O2 that I'm running through it, at 30 psi, it will burn, and ignite the motor. Quickly...

  • Is that a glow plug used as the ignitor?
