Below are pictures of my rocket motor collection. I've added pics of the following motors: Aerotech D8 prototype, Ravenna Rocket Research, Composite Dynamics, Industrial Solid Propulsion RMS 29/60 casing, Mach Industries (Slovenian), Estes C10 prototype, Crown Rocket Motor, Small Sounding Rocket Systems, U.S. Rockets, Vulcan, Centuri F motor, Propulsion Industries, some old Estes motors, and now ESTES/VASHON ColdPower freon motor!!!
My favorite half of my motor collection.
My Rocketflite F50 and H220 black powder motors. (Yes, black powder. The H220 is the largest black powder rocket motor made.
My Aerotech E6, F60, and F? motors.
My Estes(blue tube) and Centuri motors.
My Coasters F15, F11 and Atom Jet motors and my Hurricane motor. (Sorry about the poor image quality. The floppy disk I used in the digital camera was bad. )C: ) All seem about 29mm.
My MRC motor(mini motor), my FSI C6-0 motors(clear plastic with red paper tag), and my MPC B4-2 motors (large package). (Sorry about the poor image quality. The floppy disk I used in the digital camera was bad. )C: ) All 18mm except the mini, 13mm.
My Canaroc motors (B14-6 size). 18mm.
My MRC F/X (smoke) motors. (6mm dia).
My Estes D48 (D48!!!) prototype. 24mm.
My Estes D48 (D48!!!) prototype's nozzle.
My Estes E15(CATO) motors. 24mm.
My Estes UFO Powerpack. Notice the neat packaging. My favorite packaging. 18mm motors.
My Centuri Super C's and B6 Centuri Engineering motor(1968) 18mm.
My Centuri F97 motor. It's about 10" long. 29mm.
My Estes C10 prototype. The casing of this one couldn't be fuller. The clay cap on the fore end is right at the top of the casing. Not an exciting casing, however. Sorry about the fuzzy pic. I'll try to redo it soon. 18mm.
My Estes D11, older 1/2A6-2, and older A10-0. 24mm, 18mm, 13mm.
My Composite Dynamics ProJet motor. It has an interesting nozzle. (next pic.) ~29mm.
My Composite Dynamics ProJet motor's nozzle. It appears to just be a hole in the clay aft end cap.
My Crown rocket motor, made by Small Sounding Rocket Systems. 29mm.
My Aerotech D8 prototype's fore end. It's the only exciting part. Otherwise, the motor just has a plain brown phenolic case. Purchased from Jim Flis of Fliskits. Sorry about the bad pic. I'll try again later. 18mm.
My Industrial Solid Propulsion (ISP) RMS 29/60 case. ISP is (or was) Aerotech's parent company. 29mm.
My Mach Industries C6-0 Buster (sic) motor. It is from Slovenia, and I guess that explains the misspelling of "booster". 18mm.
My Propulsion Industries F79 motor. It seems to have about the same construction as an Aerotech SU motor. 29mm.
My Ravenna Rocket Research motor. Still has its thermalite ignitor. Visible on motor. Outer sleeve removed for pic. Casing appears to be fiberglass. ~29mm.
My Small Sounding Rocket Systems (SSRS) motor. Note the same look packaging as the Crown motor, made by SSRS. 29mm.
The end cap of my U.S. Rockets 24mm(!) G140 motor. See comparison with Estes D11. (next pic).
The length of the U.S. Rockets G140 as compared with that of an Estes D11.
My Vulcan G90 motor. Black fiberglass case. 29mm.
My Estes Coldpower motor. This motor used freon for propellant, and had a balloon that expanded into a tube slightly larger than the motor, and held a spring assembely that would pop the parachute when the motor was empty.
Another view of my Estes Coldpower motor. Here's a link to pics of a static test of one of these motors.
