In between watching the other new episodes of Rocket City Rednecks (beer can IED armor, DIY exto-skeleton armor, and one I haven't seen yet), I snapped a shot of the moonshine motor's combustion chamber/nozzle unit. Mounted on it's tree stump test bed. Yeehaw.
I think we're going to see a lot of rockets on this show. The 'Ironman" suit's weapons unit is a multi-rocket launcher. The rockets resembled Estes Quarks.
Next Warthog building session featured project will be Moonshine Motors.....yeee haaaaaaahhh!!
ReplyDeleteHehe. At the start the launched a 2L water bottle with some store bought alkyhol and a squirt of nitrous from a cream whipper.
ReplyDeleteRattworx Tribrid was the 1st thing out of my mouth when I saw it. No reason to suppose they didn't actually use their white lightning in it.
ReplyDeleteLoved the nozzle on the welded stump motor and especially the 2L bottle rockets, been doing those for years. Not exactly good science before an actual flight article though.
The bottle rocket was cool. The stump motor looked like piping except for the nozzle. I agree there wasn't much actual science here but I guess I'm less picky than most in the hobby. I found the episodes interesting enough.
