The results we got from our motor test was very underwhelming, a positive is that our motor didn't Cato unlike many others. Since we made an end burner I knew that we would have a longer burn time than most and that is what happened, but our motor reached a very low thrust level. If we were to make a rocket using this motor the rocket wouldn't lift from the ground. Our rocket ended up being a smoke bomb, this is because we chose a 1/4 inch hole for our nozzle throat so not enough pressure was able to reach the core chamber. I think that this was a good learning experience, the best motors in the class were cored, so I think we will use a cored motor for the final rocket. There were a lot of good motors made from our class, Phillipe and Gabe's reached a very high thrust level, so depending on how heavy our rocket is we may or may not use theirs. The very last step for this project was to find the burnout time in seconds, total thrust in grams and etc. If you want to see the results Rocky our motor got click the link below, you will also see the results from everyone in our class.
