WTF?
Nomen est omen. Salami rocket is about building a hybrid rocket with a gaseous oxydizer (N20) and salami as propellants.
Oxydizer
I chose N2O over O2 because although N2O carries a lot of conjectural inert nitrogen (64%) oxygen is much harder to handle (tank filling, storage & injection). Additionally the nitrogen, though not participating in combustion, raises the fuel erosion rate and cooles the nozzle enough to reuse it many times. Since the alternatives i found are quite expensive, i use the nitrous oxyde of whipped-cream chargers. By the way, never search for "Sahnespender" at google.
Fuel
Salami: High efficency hydrocarbon based fuel ;)
Simulation
Im using RockSim to simulate the flight stability of the rocket. The behaviour of the N20/ hybrid motor is simulated by an external model programmed in C++.
Parts
- Run Tank: A light-weight container for the oxydizer capable of sustaining enough pressure
- Throttle Valve: A valve to allow precise regulation of the oxydizer flow from the run tank to the combustion chamber.
- Injector: Aids in vaporizing the (still) liquid oxydizery.
- Combustion Chamber: Where the oxydizer/fuel mix burns. Additionally to pressure (same amount as for the run tank) it has to sustain heat.
- Nozzle: An opening that dramatically accelerates the hot gas escaping the combustion chamber.
- Ignitor: Preheating the fuel and initializing combustion.
- Body tube: Enhances airodynamic properties of the rocket and encapsulates the motor.
- Recovery System (parachute): Enables slow decent after burn-out for safety and reusability
- Tail camera: It's all about the nice view
- Altimeter: Measurement concludes the fate of the cat
- Electric beacon: Transmits a signal to ease finding the landing site.
- Filling system: Pipework to fill the run tank with nitrous oxyde from whipped cream chargers.
Shopping list
All parts directly participating in the combustion would have to sustain at least 51 bar (vapor pressure of N20 at 20°C) but for reasons of safety i assume 200bar as the minimum.
Run Tank
Smart Parts C02 aluminium tank for paintball guns with on/off valve.
- Capacity: 591ml (20 oz)
- Connector: 1,27cm (1/2")
- Max Pressure: 200bar
- Price: 45€
On/Off Valve
No separate valve needed since the proposed CO2 tank has it built-in.
Throttle valve
An adjustable throttle valve (Stasto VRB-030) intended for use in hydraulics.
- Connector: 1,27cm (1/2")
- Flow rate: 45 l/min
- Working pressure: 350 bar
- Price: 30€
Injector
Probably custom made or this one -> SKR-54UC
- Diameter: 54mm
- Price: 53 €
Combustion Chamber
C02 aluminium tank for paintball guns without on/off valve.
- Capacity: 591ml (20 oz)
- Connector: 1,27cm (1/2")
