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.
