Wax Based Fuels

Alpha Hybrids has put together a PDF on two of the fuels we used. We hope that this will help to inform those wishing to pursue developing their own hybrid motors!

What is the initiation/valving method on these motors? Also, how does their mass compare to similarly sized monotube or HyperTek motors?

The mass is slightly more than monotube and HyperTek motors. They use the same HyperTek tank but the reloadable aluminum casing weighs more. The valving is something that we've developed in-house and will be released when the motors are certified.

Also, on weight the small 300cc motor lifted the 15 pound rocket to 750' easily (the rocket is featured at the start of the blog)
