Rocket Motor Launch
Name: Bijan Siry, Jesus Lopez
Fuel:Black Powder
Nozzle: 3/16”
Core: End Burner
Thrust Curve
Total burn time: 7.93 sec.
Total thrust in g: 13785
We started off with planing how our test motor was going to work. The type of fuel we chose to use in our motor was black powder. We chose this because the black powder because it will burn faster but have more thrust than sugar. For the nozzle we chose a diameter of 3/16. This is because the smaller the diameter is the more pressure it will have. For the core we chose on having an end burner because it will burn for longer.
When i launched my motor it had alot of thrust in the begining and then it had alittle bit of thrust. It doesnt burn as much because it is burning less surface area of fuel in the motor.
Why did my motor not burn as well as the other motors we tested.
I did not get the desirable trust i wanted but i made a great end burner motor. To get the result i wanted i had to create a core burner core in my motor.
I worked with bijan on this project. We worked well together we communicated with each other and we worked together on planning the motor.
