"D" / "Moonburner" Grains
I am currently doing some research on these grains.I want the motor to fire with different grains creating multiple pulses.

I'll update my progress shortly!

Re: "D" / "Moonburner" Grains
This test was done on a MTS-5000 (Miershoop-Test-Stand!)  with a 28mm stainless motor.2 opposing moonburner grains with a delay in the middle. 500 Points to the one who can spot the delay burn! Wink

It sounded like a explosion!

Re: "D" / "Moonburner" Grains
I really like the miershoop test stand, nice and solid the spit of our small builders really do the trick. It seems to work much better than the turf-soil test stand that I used once. Somewhat messy, had to dig deep to get my motor back. Some china-man almost scored a motor! Maybe we can sell the idée to  the GAO-TREIN manne.Wink

Re: "D" / "Moonburner" Grains
 No leaks, It is a Toyota’s hydraulic clutch system in reverse
How can i get hold of a kind of Digital timer program to work with my video clip like the one on miershoop?

Re: "D" / "Moonburner" Grains
Have you got a "load sell" then or is there something els, a hydraulic unit that measure pressure electronically perhaps?
