We’ve done two test firings of the new unit.
In addition to the new core design we’ve done a lot of small upgrades. The data system has gone from 9 to 12 volts (it’s amazing how many things this fixed). The probe connections are now all on one side of the MHD core. The rubber motor seals have gone back to the old style and there is a new data harness.
To making testing easier we’ve built the little red wagon test stand!
JOOC, what’s the purpose of the MHD generator? Is this a way of powering up rocket avionics or … ??
