We are now at the motor assembly stage of our documentary. As you can see, it's quite simple and takes just a minute. The next video will show assembly of the delay grain, mechanical ejection system.

  • Just correct the video about makinh the fuel, because there you made 5 segments of fuel, and here you used just 4.

    Just trying to help...

    Sorry if..

    Later!

  • @CasagrandeTiago: There is no need to make a video edit because you can use 4 to 6 grains without a CATO with that size nozzle. It's up to you how strong you want that "H" motor.

  • @rocketmanbkk Oh, ok, thanks! I'm having some troubles with CATOs, because of the grout. Could you please look for me in the grout bag what is its composition?

    Thanks!

    Later!

  • @CasagrandeTiago: I'm really not sure what is in the tile grout I use. I'm not in Thailand now and can't read it anyway. LOL Just go to the local "home builder store" and get what they use for tile. Send me a direct email and I can help you if it's a nozzle problem. rocketmanbkk@yahoo.com

  • How much thrust? And also what was the burn time?

  • @rachetomodele : I don't have a test stand to test thrust so I couldn't really tell you. It is a motor in the "H" class range. Burn time is around 2 seconds on the video.

  • @1crackit : If you are referring to a single inhibited bates grain vs. multiple grains...NO it will not work the same. You will need 1/3 more fuel for equal ISP which also adds 1/3 more weight. Also the motor won't reach max chamber pressure as quickly. Yes, it will work but not the same. Plus, adding 1/3 more fuel and weight changes the center of gravity of the rocket as well.

  • if i make a all of those little r candy in to a long one will work the same

  • @rat31465 : that is correct. This is a "core" burner not an "end" burner motor configuration.

    

  • So did I miss something or does the igniter light the top of the propellant chamber and burns downwards towards the nozzle?
