I tested my 3/4" PVC rocket engine by trying to see how it would do with a lot of weight on it. Total liftoff weight 2200 grams | 12 Mar 2000 | 34_6.htm | 34_6.mpg | |
My first mine. The stars are 3/8" pumped red stars from a 1-7/8" tube. There was a chunk of rocket fuel in with the stars. It can be seen flying out in front of the stars, with no visible fire. | 5 Mar 2000 | mine_1.mpg | ||
3/4" engine #5: The last static test of this engine. Peak thrust was about 65 pounds! | 26 Feb 2000 | 34_5.htm | ||
3/4" engine #4b: One more test of this engine and I had a problem. A leak developed around the nozzle. Retesting is required. | 18 Feb 2000 | 34_4.htm | ||
3/4" engine #4a: Final design, I think. Peak thrust 42 pounds | 12 Feb 2000 | 34_5.mpg | ||
3/4" engine #3: A small shortcut lead to a leak in the top of the engine. Bad things happened damaging my gauge. | 8 Feb 2000 | cato_2.mpg | ||
