Nice! which nozzle design do you use?
I designed a 6061 aluminum nozzle with a 316 stainless steel insert to handle the heat during the burns. My first motor (SN1) had a full aluminum nozzle that eroded with each use, so for SN2, I added the insert to improve reusability. The nozzle has a divergence half-angle of 15 degrees and a convergence half-angle of 44 degrees. The throat diameter is precisely 0.45 inches, with a throat length of 0.20 inches, and an exit diameter of 1.00 inches. I used OpenMotor software to help figure out these numbers.
That's actually pretty cool, any details on how it works?
Working on a video to explain the process of designing, building, and testing these motors. Overall the fuel isn't too complex. Its just "Rocket Candy" which is potassium nitrate and sugar. I have modified the formula a bit to use various different mesh size potassium nitrate, sorbitol (sugar), and a bit of red iron oxide. The casing, nozzle, and bulkhead (aft closure) are made of 6061 aluminum. There is a 316 Stainless steel insert within the nozzle to help protect from the heat and propellant when tested! This makes the motor reusable multiple times which helps with cost.
Very cool! Hope your channel gets popular!
