First MHD Test of the Year

The firing went well, but the test failed. Just before the end of the run the datalogger failed. Not a bit recorded. Grrrrrrr. Time for new dataloggers.

We did get some good info on the structural modification. The segmented plate showed no cracking at all. The baked epoxy plate had the epoxy cut out right along the flow line then cracked clean through. The detachable main unit stayed put during the firing.
