The rocket plume was a veritable tower of fire…. quite a sight to behold…. and to the audience’s delight, this was just the beginning. As this motor tapered down, the rocket computer air-started a second motor that blasted the rocket out of sight with a giant plume of white smoke.

  1. That’s a sweet motor! Let’s not launch 100,000 of them, though, methinks it’d be bad for the environment. 😀 The sparks flying off are interesting though, even if it isn’t the midas touch.

  2. woww that looks really cool. How are you Steve!?!!? Long time no "see" hahah. Hope you are doing great. Cheers! 😀

  3. How do you get the sparks in there? Do you have to pack your own engines?

  4. How do we get all dem sparks all in there? It’s magic in a bottle! 😉
    We do have to built our own motors for H size and above, but most everything at XPRS came in a reload kit (no home-baked motors). At BALLS, we will try the experimental, home-poured ones with the iron filings in the mix.

    gocarrt: great video. looks like he could use some experience in building stronger rockets that can take the impulse.

    iv0: I’ve been up to no good, clearly. 😉

  5. Some of the best photos of rocketry I’ve ever seen.
