Project: Vulcan - A Model Rocket Motor Test Stand
Austin Aerospace Educational Network mail
Project Vulcan is a model rocket motor test stand. Which means at its core it is a measuring device. It measures how much thrust a motor produces. With this test stand the motor is placed in a downward position (with the motor exhaust coming out of the top). When the motor is ignited it presses down on the load-cell. That creates a small change in the electrical current and that change is measured and recorded. There is a change in the current & a calculation is performed to display the thrust.
