Testing and Data = engineers party

First test went off without a hitch.
Here are pics... they do better than words

I'll upload photos of the Data and a detailed description of what is going on.

Motor in the center of the blast walls. These are 2 sheets of 1/2" plywood with 2" of space between... to be filled with sand.

Blog is up, where we are

Well its up and running. We will now be posting daily updates or maybe weekly depending on how easy this seems.

So far we have setup all the hardware and are preparing for the 2nd testing attempt. This should take place on 11/28. This will be the test of two 5 lb motor firings using the PVC grain developed by the summer crew.

Next will be a test of a 25lb PVC motor. And after that, the paraffin fun will begin!

Here is the new motor set up without the mounting plates or motor mount
