Hybrid Rocket Motor Nozzle Tests

Update on my senior project here at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. This video is intended primarily for my advisor, but to anyone else who isn't familiar with what I'm doing: This is a demonstration hybrid rocket motor in our propulsions lab, employing oxygen as the oxidizer and plexiglas (polymethylmethacrylate) as the fuel, with propane as the ignitor. The purpose of this motor is DEMONSTRATION of hybrid motor characteristics, NOT thrust performance. As such, the thrust is intentionally low (this is also good for safety). My senior project is to design a rocket nozzle or two that will sufficiently demonstrate to students the higher performance that can be expected from the use of a nozzle, particularly in the form of increased thrust. Cal Poly's motto is "learn by doing." I am doing exactly that. Machining new fixtures and nozzles, testing the nozzles, collecting the data, and doing everything else myself has been a learning experience, allowing me to see the design process from conception to application. If you have any questions about Cal Poly, their aerospace engineering department, or hybrid rocket motors, let me know and I'll be sure to get back to you.

Hybrid Rocket Motor Aerospike Nozzle Tests

This is a combination of 3 test firings of an Aerospike nozzle for my Senior Project in Aerospace Engineering from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. The test bed hybrid uses gaseous oxygen, GOX, and a 2" dia Plexiglas tube as the solid fuel. The Oxygen is at 100psi. The first test run was not choked, which was expected for the throat area is ~10 times greater than what the ideal area should be. The ideal gap between the spike and the compression cowl needed to be .003", yes, 3 thousands of an inch. However, if this were too small, this could produce a thermal choke well in front of the actual physical choke, which would reduce the performance of the rocket. I machined the compression cowl to have a gap of .053" instead. This would have allowed me to re-machine it smaller to maximize the thrust of the rocket. I planned to fire the test for only 10 seconds, however I got distracted and allowed it to fire for 20 seconds, 2-3 seconds shy of turning the two piece nozzle into 3 or more pieces, that's what all the sparks are at the end. This nozzle was machined out of 4140 Chrome-Molly. What took over 32 hours of CNC machining only took 20 seconds to destroy. The second set of fires is with the newer nozzle design which reduced the stagnation zones that burnt up the first nozzle. As you can see, this one produced over twice as much thrust than the first nozzle, this one was machined to have a throat gap of .013" which may have over choked this nozzle <b>...</b>

How To Make Small Sugar Rocket Nozzles (Part-1)

nichropulse.com This how-to tutorial is part-1 of a two part video. In this first part, I show you how I make consistent and accurate 3 inner-diameter rocket nozzles. I demonstrate two types: packed bentonite clay (or clay-grog) nozzles, and quick cement nozzles. I use some common tooling that is used extensively in the amateur rocketry and homemade firework community. In particular, I use the Perfect-Nozzle kit. Professional drawings and the source list are available at www.nichropulse.com for FREE. In Part-2, I will demonstrate how I load pressed sugar candy propellant in powder form. This motor can easily be loaded with other rocket propellants such as black powder propellant, APCP propellant, and casted R-candy propellant.

Engine Company Operations: Nozzle & Back-up Techniques

The latest addition to our video training series focuses on the importance of a well coordinated nozzle team. In this video Nate DeMarse and Chris Collier demonstrate effective nozzle and back-up firefighter techniques. In this video a 2 1/2" line equipped with a smooth bore nozzle with a 1 1/8" tip was used. At 50 lbs nozzle pressure this line is flowing approximately 280 gallons per minute (GPM) and can still be moved effectively by two firefighters. The nozzle reaction of the smooth bore is approximately half that of most combination nozzles while flowing the same GPM.

First 5th generation multiaxis nozzle

Since 10 years all aerospace bureaus in the world tried to build something like this and today its reality. Achievements of this engine are Enormous. Russia have already constructed AL-31F-M3 which provide a higher thrust at more than 15300 kgf. This technology have no analogy in the world. Such a nozzles will be part of the first russian 5th generation jets.

Syngenta Application Advice: Defy Nozzles

With modern crop protection products it is possible to achieve exceptionally high levels of pest, disease and weed control. However, it is those spray operators who pay absolute attention to the finer points in the art of application, who can make the crucial difference between an acceptable 95% control, and an outstanding 98% or more. Syngenta has developed a range of specialist nozzles dedicated to solving application problems and achieving better coverage, to deliver greater results every time. - Up to 30% extra weed control when used pre or post-emergence compared to vertical nozzles - Half the drift of a conventional fan jet, giving extra spray days - Designed to spray effectively at 70cm boom height, but can still be used down to 50cm - Can be used at speeds up to 16 km/hr - Angled nozzle - Variable pressure The latest application guidelines and nozzle technology from Syngenta will enable operators to reconcile the requirements of targets, products, spraying equipment and timing, to get the best possible results every time. www.syngenta-crop.co.uk

Environmental Aeroscience - Aerospike Nozzle Solid Rocket Motor Static Firing

eAc (Environmental Aeroscience Corp) developed and fired the first solid propellant Aerospike motor in 2003. Aerospike nozzles are designed to be altitude compensating and self adjust the expansion ratio making them extremely useful for ground-launched sounding rockets. This feature is specifically useful for long burn hybrid rocket applications. Several design verification tests firings using short burn solid propellants, with the goal of applying the technology to the long burn Hybrid motors.

How To Make Small PVC Rocket Nozzles

nichropulse.com This video follows my first two 3 rocket making tutorial videos. Here, I am switching from cardboard tubes, to standard PVC. PVC holds more pressure for greater thrust. It is also cheaper. I have made a simple modification to my 3/4" Perfect-Nozzle kit to accommodate the slightly larger diameter. The homemade rocket nozzles can still be formed with anchoring cement or bentonite clay (kitty litter), however I have found that Durham's Rock Hard Watter Putty adheres to the PVC the best. I purchased the putty at the Home Depot. The two motors shown in the video are rammed sugar nitrate rockets (powdered r-candy propellant). With PVC the grain core can be made longer to get a higher pressure than in the cardboard tubes. This will give it more power to lift a heavier payload.

Rotating Nozzle - PressureJet

Turbo-Jet nozzles have been one of the most important accessories developed. These efficient tools provide the power of a zero-degree pattern. The circular motion also adds extra agitation to cleaning tough jobs like caked-on mud. They are designed to provide a 200% cleaning efficiency over a 25-degree flat fan nozzle. The precision ceramic orifice and matching seat, along with the high strength forged brass housing; provide a long life accessory with no gears, teeth, or bearings. When the nozzle or seat wears, you can replace parts easily to extend the life even longer.

aluminum nozzle test-delay test

This is a test to show that a metal nozzle, aluminum or steel can be threaded into pvc without melting the casing. Also testing a new delay grain ejection design. The Thai machinist made the exit too wide and too long so I never fired this nozzle. I have since had them make steel nozzles with the right size and shape which flew great. The purpose of this test is to mere show that the pvc can be protected from the heat of the metal.

This model has alot of overhang etc.. but with the .35 nozzle at .25mm layers its pretty ok, I still need to improve the stl file so it has less triangles,.. its 400.000 facets now, which gives issues sometimes.. to be continued.
