If people want to test motors I'll be more than glad to bring my test stand - I can go up to 220 lbs and 2500 psi, at up to 50kHz. It would be nice to have a static test day. Edward

Are you using the 65/35 mixture? I found sorbitol much easier to work with than any other of the sugars. I bought my KNO3 from a supply house in Denver - it was .40 cents/lb in 50 lb bags in 2003. ...

Looks very good! What are you using? Sucrose? Also, where are you getting your KNO3? Edward

The template I saw was two blocks (2x6 lumber) that had a few holes drilled in them. The wire was run in there and held by another block on top. My friend has a similar setup and it has been through...

Greg, I'm going to make a few of the mechanically held brooms - working on getting a template. I found a couple cheap fish tapes tonight at the pawn shops and now just need to find the broom handle a...

Yeah, extra incentive to be one of the first ones to see the fire and pick up the brooms from the fire fighting equipment stash. The stragglers will be left with the tanks 😀 Forget getting to the r...

I was in Jax Farm & Ranch and saw those - they look very nice...add some fire retardant to the water and think they'd work great. 5 gallons * 8.4 pounds/gallon = 42 pounds - we might have to start...

After chatting with a friend he suggested we try and look for fish tape material if we want to build our own brooms. I thought for a second and I'm sure that is the type of material they use. 1/8" w...

If anyone can come up with a source for the flat bristles, I'd be more than happy to template my friends broom and make a few. The bristles were about 1/16" to 3/32" thick, and were 1/8-3/32" wide. ...

The fire brooms work very well, until they loose their bristles. A friend who is a professional firefighter showed me a couple brooms today that have mechanically held bristles that are replaceable. ...

With all the sugar motors I did, I had the NASA style launch. They burned for a second or two with great smoke, then suddenly built up thrust and came off of the pad. Really built up a good roar als...

In my box of hybrid motors I did find a hybrid research grain that I would like to fly - I won't be able to be there Sunday but I can get it to someone - anyone want to fly it? Edward

I just built a rocket in this and I like it - more intuitive than rocksim. The downside at this point is no motor imports. For odd shaped rockets this looks nice. For my 3FNC and 4FNC designs I'll ...

It looks like whatever they had ignite it blew right threw the forward closure. Nothing ever came out of the nozzle. If what they were prepping in the video was the igniter, I'd be scared 🙂 Edward

I have a couple of Alpha Hybrid motors I'd like to burn before the end of the year - contact me if anyone is interested. I'd have motors for both days. Edward
