The fuel grain was originally called Illudium Q-36 as a joke. Unfortunately, nobody got it. So we canned it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a hybrid rocket engine. The solid fuel is ABS plastic encased by a tube of plexiglass. The oxidizer is nitrous oxide. Should give us around 300-350 pounds of thrust.

You have no idea what it is.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites pilotdave 0 #43 March 9, 2004 Awesome. I was curious because I worked on a hybrid rocket project in college. We built a tiny one that used a "whippit" nitrous cartridge for the oxydizer. We tried a few different fuels...acrylic, paper, and rubber. We eventually mixed our own rubber (HTPB rubber or something like that), adding some stuff to make it burn hotter (carbon black and powdered aluminum). We started work on a larger version that would produce 100 lbs of thrust for a minute I think, using medical grade nitrous. But we never ended up building the thing.

They were well aware of what they could be used for. It was pretty funny though because originally the university was going to fund our whippit purchase, but we looked for the best price we could find anyway. They were pretty expensive at kitchen supply stores (they're used for making whipped cream), but they were cheap as hell at a drug paraphanelia website so thats where I ordered them from. In the end we decided to eat the cost ourselves since we had already spent more money than we really should have, but I woulda loved to hand that receipt in to the university.
