Bidirectional rocket motor 👌 Fun to see the whole process!

It was fun to show it! Let me know if you ever get into solid rocket fuels!

Storytelling 101, show don't tell. This was a fantastic video.

That was the coolest solid motor failure that I ever saw!

I’m mostly impressed by your Dr Pepper addiction.

Dude it’s like watching Edison in his lab. If you are not in the payload going up, I fully expect you to be a Launch Director in the big leagues. Your no-go decisions are epic. Thank you for posting again.

I am so jealous of your tormach! Awesome machine.

This is an awesome video! I’ve never seen the flame come out of the radial bolts.

Cherry Limeade sounds so delicious. Kinda interesting how fast combustion "stopped" after the case failed.

Awesome video! Can't wait for an extended version

What happened to the rest of the solid motor build series? Part 3...

Could it be a centrifugal air bubble remover instead of a vacuum machine?

Cool video. One thing about rocketry, even if it is a failure it is always exciting. I bet there was a lot of good data and learning going on though. Also, are you going to NSL this weekend?

Unfortunately no NSL for me - the day job rockets need attention too.

Sick workshop setup! So interesting to see the oscilations in the burn rate, I have some guesses (pressure rise, burn rate rise, pressure containment failure and repeat) but I would love to hear your thoughts! Also the video without commentary or music reminded me of primitive technology :D

You guessed what I watched a lot of while waiting for the vacuum to run ;)

lot of dr pepper 😂

I’m no expert, but I think the fire is only supposed to come out of one end.

What's your view on ISRO, Do you know it

I’m sure you’re well aware but watch yourself with gloves on around a lathe. My dad’s a machinist and almost got wrapped up in one when a latex glove he was wearing caught up on a piece. We also knew someone that got into it with a driveshaft in a fishing boat and broke their arm in like 20+ pieces and tore their ear off… needless to say I don’t fuck with rotating assemblies. Stoked to see more rocket content! I’m thinking of getting into some research motor stuff this winter after I burn through my current stash of commercial loads.

You need a funnel. 😂

Hey man nice Video's. Just curious who you work for..as in your day rocket job?

I'm currently the Chief Engineer at Agile Space Industries. We build rocket engines for NASA's CLPS moon landers, cislunar space domain awareness missions, and highly maneuverable low earth orbit missions.

So, that was a failu---- um... unexpected test result?

Certainly an undesired result - but it's always fun to try something new!

hi, may i know what the cnc machine that cut the metal call?

Most of this was filmed in my workshop, except for the assembly segment and the test site.

Why 😯 job u do bro to have so much equipment for you hobby ❓

Are you still working on your liquid, bi-propellant rocket engine?

Yes! My day job is building liquid rocket engines now though, so it doesn't get as many hours as it used to...

Amazing! Thanks a lot this channel has been a massive help and I love watching your videos!

Bruh, drink less Dr. Pepper you'll thank me when you're my age.
