Rocket Design

First of all, I would like to apologize for not posting anything for a long time. I have been bogged down by school work, a part time job, and some other projects.

I am currently working on a design for a rocket that will hopefully launch in the near future.

Here is a picture of it in the design phase:

I am using the program Open Rocket to design this rocket. Open Rocket is open-source, and free to download. If you are interested in downloading this to work on a project of your own, here is the link: Open Rocket

Again, I apologize for not posting any content for a long time. Here is a link to download my project as it is, and feel free to make any changes and comment about them. Project Download

Current Setup

Test 2

Hybrid rocket engine body constructed using brass metal fittings with a ¼” brass fitting nozzle.

Test was perfect with no visual flaws. Oxygen was shut off prematurely due to operator's will. 

Changes: Next test I would like to use a c-clamp to make sure that the vinyl hose does not fall off the oxygen tank valve. C-clamps will also be used to secure the rocket motor to a concrete block that will act as a base. A new ¼” brass fitting nozzle will be used next time for the sake of aesthetics and functionality.

Test 1

Hybrid rocket engine body constructed using brass metal fittings with a ¼” brass fitting nozzle.

Barb to oxygen canister connected to the engine was fastened using electrical tape. This was the cause of the meltdown that caused erosion of the nozzle. The nozzle was still operational as seen in Test 2.
