Design and Machining in hopes for a test at the end of the week.

So wondering what we are up to?

Well, there have been countless nights with little sleep getting ready for new testing and a nicer motor. At the moment the motor is mostly completed... I will be able to post many more photos and more detailed analysis information. But here are the general concept photos:

Here is the most updated CAD model. 3" OD with 2" ID. Most parts are aluminum where the nozzle inset is Graphite.

Here is the nozzle holder being machined. Not a great photo but I'm usually too busy to take photos. In the photo is a ~3x3x2 in billet being machined by a 3/4 End mill in a HASS VF4. We are only too lucky to have a fantastic machine shop at our disposal. At the moment I had just figured out how to fix a problem having large chord heights on the circular parts. I have never had this problem in the VM3 that I normally use, however I had made some errors in Gibbs CAM. The parts all look much better now.
