The Development of Lab-Scale Hybrid Rocket Ignition System
Lab-scale 하이브리드 로켓 점화장치 개발
Abstract
For Lab-scale Hybrid Rocket's Ignition, It is needs of heat source to vaporize solid fuel. We used Nichrome wire which has a electric resistance for ignition. But Ignition system by using Nichrome wire is not only the disposable system, but also the system which has an affect on the Hybrid rocket's structures(nozzle throat diameter). The new Ignition system composed of Butane+propane gas' supply devices and spark plug. RPL(Rocket Propulsion Lab.) perform the hybrid rocket experiments over 50 times by using new ignition system. The fact that is possible to throttle the Thrust in hybrid rocket is confirmed.
