Life is like a sewer...what you get out of it depends on what you put into it!
I don't walk on water...I just learned where some of the stepping stones are!
I love mankind...it's some of the people I can't stand!

Meanwhile here's a little rocket motor eye candy... A nozzle for a 6" diameter rocket motor machined by yours truly. Phenolic carrier with a graphite insert. Throat is 2" diameter. This nozzle was used to lift a scale model of Marvin the Martian's rocket weighing 500 lbs to 500 feet. Good stuff!

I built a liquid fueled engine for some Midshipmen a number of years ago. The injector wasn’t right as I recall. The oxygen and fuel mix wasn’t right. Didn’t generate enough thrust. Very cool project though. I’ll find a photo.
