Been developing carbon/metal composed adhesive composites for non machinable SRMs

2020-12-01 05:40:59 UTC  

And 3D printed mandrels

2020-12-01 05:41:37 UTC  

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

2020-12-01 05:41:42 UTC  

It was a flying IED

2020-12-01 05:42:27 UTC  

No recovery charge

2020-12-01 05:43:07 UTC  

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

2020-12-01 05:44:36 UTC  

I don't recommend PVC

2020-12-01 05:44:55 UTC  

Have you seen what it did to a lot of rocketers

2020-12-01 05:45:07 UTC  

It's X-ray transparent

2020-12-01 05:45:21 UTC  

So shrapnel wounds meant they can't get em all out at the ER

2020-12-01 05:49:56 UTC  

I normally wrap them so if they should explode they won't send shrapnel everywhere

2020-12-01 05:50:12 UTC  

I was teaching my nephew how to make them

2020-12-01 05:50:23 UTC  

This is from last year

2020-12-01 05:50:45 UTC  

It's just a powdered fuel... Not solid

2020-12-01 05:55:36 UTC  

Wow that flew really high

2020-12-01 05:56:57 UTC  

Yeah, my powder engines work well, but I want that lift sucka

2020-12-01 05:57:42 UTC  

Ammonium perchlorate

2020-12-01 05:57:48 UTC  

And aluminum poweder

2020-12-01 05:57:55 UTC  

Almost double the impulse

2020-12-01 06:04:14 UTC  

This was the most recent failure

2020-12-01 06:04:17 UTC  

Lol

2020-12-01 06:04:23 UTC  

The flying IED

2020-12-01 06:05:30 UTC  

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

2020-12-01 06:05:38 UTC  

But that was just a test

2020-12-01 06:05:53 UTC  

Once I get it right, it will have a lot of lift

2020-12-01 06:05:59 UTC  

Dang you should really use a electric ignition system

2020-12-01 06:06:11 UTC  

Yeah, whatevs lol

2020-12-01 06:06:25 UTC  

I like the old fashioned fuse or even a sparkler

2020-12-01 06:06:27 UTC  

Lol

2020-12-01 06:06:52 UTC  

If you need help building one I can help, I literally do all pyrotechnics behind a blast sheild

2020-12-01 06:06:57 UTC  

I have an electric igniter, but I need to get plugs and the little wires

2020-12-01 06:07:23 UTC  

Unless they can be made

2020-12-01 06:08:52 UTC  

Yes they can be made

2020-12-01 06:09:07 UTC  

You just need nichrome wire and matches

2020-12-01 06:09:25 UTC  

I use 3D printed plugs, but tape can work too

2020-12-01 06:10:06 UTC  

Where can you get the wire?

2020-12-01 06:10:51 UTC  

I just hate buying anything I don't have to. And fuse is cheap lol. But so are wire and matches

2020-12-01 06:11:38 UTC  

After I perfect this, I will move on to more advanced fuels
