Fuel: O2 + HDPE (high density polyethelyne)...
All pre- and post-analysis done in MATLAB (with combustion help from Cantera package).
All HDPE grains as well as a graphite converging-diverging nozzle were machined in Stanford's Product Realization Lab (PRL) machine shop.
We conducted five test fires (the fifth after this video was made), iterating on grain (and nozzle) design based on our theoretical and experimental analysis.
Time frame: 2.5 weeks.
Great!
