Following improvements to our feed system, we saw much improved mixing and a corresponding increase in efficiency. This led to high temperatures that melted and burned our steel nozzle at around T+20s. As a result, we will be replacing the nozzle with a more heat-resistant material. By far our most successful test yet!

Today marked our third and final test using paraffin wax and compressed air as propellants. We are now focusing on making the transition to HTPB and N2O, which will still be used with this engine as a test bed.
We were able to achieve a much cleaner burn at higher pressures and temperatures. Unfortunately for our nozzle insert, these temperatures exceeded its melting point!
