Here is our final rocket motor design. It is a black powder cored burner. We chose to core it in a unique way, where one half of it is cored at with a thicker drill bit and the other with a thinner drill bit. The reason for doing that is so when the rocket first takes off it will have more power, then as the fuel starts to burn up, it slows down when it hits the smaller core. We wanted to try doing it this way so we can make our rocket go higher. Since, no one has really tried this kind of motor, we are excited to see the outcome of it and if it actually works like we predicted.
The next step is the actually manufacture the rocket, which will be done by Andrew. Then we are doing to test the motor and measure the thrust that is created when the motor is set off. Once we get that data we are going to create a thrust curve, which is basically just showing how much thrust the motor gives off at certain point during the launch.
