I don't have the capability of making metal ones
Haha don't worry my man
I got you covered
Been developing carbon/metal composed adhesive composites for non machinable SRMs
And 3D printed mandrels
But the last test I did was a PVC engine (3/4) but I capped the end, then packed with clay, then fuel, then clay, then cap again. Drilled the nozzel through the cap and clay
It was a flying IED
No recovery charge
I make rockets out of pool noodles and anything laying around, so I don't care if I lose it, although that's not preferable
I don't recommend PVC
Have you seen what it did to a lot of rocketers
It's X-ray transparent
So shrapnel wounds meant they can't get em all out at the ER
I normally wrap them so if they should explode they won't send shrapnel everywhere
I was teaching my nephew how to make them
This is from last year
It's just a powdered fuel... Not solid
Wow that flew really high
Ammonium perchlorate
And aluminum poweder
Almost double the impulse
This was the most recent failure
Lol
The flying IED
If the nozzel had been a little larger probs would have been fine. It was also top heavy, hence, the flying left after it took off
But that was just a test
Once I get it right, it will have a lot of lift
Dang you should really use a electric ignition system
Yeah, whatevs lol
I like the old fashioned fuse or even a sparkler
Lol
If you need help building one I can help, I literally do all pyrotechnics behind a blast sheild
I have an electric igniter, but I need to get plugs and the little wires
Unless they can be made
Yes they can be made
You just need nichrome wire and matches
I use 3D printed plugs, but tape can work too
