The purpose of the Hyb-B test series is to develop a dependable ignition system for a hybrid rocket motor.

Test Hyb-B-8 provided the best result and we’ll be moving to the next step of developing a hybrid rocket ignition system based on these results.

Test Hyb-B-4

Setup and test the spark gap igniter using 5Vand 3A.

Test Hyb-B-5

Test the spark gap igniter with magnesium at 5Vand 3A.

Test Hyb-B-6

Test the spark gap igniter with black powder type #1 at 5V and 3A.

 

Test Hyb-B-7

Test the spark gap igniter with black powder type #2 at 5V and 3A.

Test Hyb-B-8

Test the spark gap igniter with an increased amount of type #2 black powder than was used in test Hyb-B-7 and still applying 5V and 3A.
