| My name is Henley Mullins. I am a grade 8 student at St Bonaventure's College in eastern Newfoundland. My interests include tinkering and rockets (following SpaceX). I am also an avid reader, play the string bass and love the outdoors. I want to be a mechanical engineer when I grow up. I believe that SpaceX and other private space companies will lead humanity into the future of space. |

Experimental Optimization of a Hybrid Rocket Engine
| Défi: | Innovation | | Catégorie: | Junior | | Région: | Eastern Newfoundland | | Ville: | St Johns, NL | | École: | St. Bonaventure's College | | Sommaire: | A functioning hybrid rocket engine was built using store-bought materials. ABS plastic fuel grains were 3D-printed in various configurations. ABS plastic and paraffin fuel grains were burned in a combustion chamber with gaseous oxygen. The force from the engine was measured and changes in shape, material, and fuel/oxygen ratio were made to optimize for thrust. |
