Rocket Engine Build

[dromug]

Hello everyone,

After finding this forum recently, I figured this would be a great place to share my build and progress on building and hopefully firing an uncooled gox and kerosene engine. I've been slowly working on this project for over a year now but these next few months much work needs to be done as I won't have consistent access to my shop for most likely the next two years (I'm a sophomore in college and co-op's could be away from home). Anyway, most of the work I've completed has been around the design of the engine and test stand construction. I'm nearly ready to begin machining the engine and fabricating the fuel tank. A good amount of time has gone into this project already but a lot more is required. Hopefully, I'll document and post a good amount on here for others to see. 

Thanks, 
Dylan

Here's a picture of the test stand frame that I'm currently working on.


I'll eventually post some more diagrams and drawings related to this project as well.
