Bloodhound LSR Thread As Requested...

[Storer]

I love that this cutting edge project is being undertaken by a number of people of a similar era as myself, who also 'suffer' from being follically challenged.

When you are doing something never attempted before there is no substitute for knowledge gained from years of experience.

Cufflink set 17/100 gratefully received. Thank you.

The question is, did that level of follicle loss come about from enormous brains pushing through or from vast levels of head scratching?

About time for another PH open day / tour isn't it?
The last visit was fascinating and things have clearly moved on since then.

I'm sure something could be arranged in the new year

Of course, I favour the enormous brain cause!!

Enormous brains....definitely enormous brain!!!

IN51GHT,

Is there a way to organise a tour for myself & a couple of friends (we would be open to donating towards the cause) or a PH event as a way to raise some funds?

I've been telling a few of my engineer friends & they are equally interested in the project & having seen the car in London we would love to see an update.

So this arrived back from paint just before Christmas....

[Blib]

Looking good INSIGHT.

Looking good IN51GHT. This may have been mentioned already, but I can't be bothered to read all previous pages. Why is this stunning machine having a blue and orange paint job?

Hi IN51ght

Can you tell me if you are still planning on using the Nammo rockets in monopropellant mode initially, and what sort of thrust level you are expecting?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Yes, hopefully around 45kN

I see from facebook the waterspeed record might be more appropriate right now.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Are you saying the rockets will produce about 45kN with monopropellant? I thought they were producing around 30kN in static tests so far and expected thrust to be less when used in monopropellant mode. Or do you just pump peroxide faster? (I'm no rocket scientist!).

Thanks,
Steve

Good grief, that's epic!

I'm guessing its going to be covered in sponsor logos anyway?

We try to be flexable, so can pretty much cater for anything within reason.
