HTTP:: Student Develops Innovative Rocket Motor
--------
James Arkwright, from Morecambe, in Lancashire, the UK, has just secured his place in a prestigious international space competition, as he developed a rocket motor that can be fired safely, and observed from close range. The 25-year-old developed the educational tool as part of his university degree, and is now being asked to present his device in front of world-class scientists, at the International Astronautical Congress, to be held later this month in South Korea, AlphaGalileo reports. The new motor is only half a meter tall, and is also portable. James developed it after studying aerospace engineering and astronautics for the past five years, at the Kingston University, in South West London. Experts believe that the instrument could be successfully used as an educational tool, to help students, academics and researchers in their quest for obtaining a deeper understanding of the mechanics involved in constructing a rocket.Made entirely out of the carbon compound graphite!
, steel and acrylic, the motor can demonstrate to students (from school age to degree level), how fuel is burned inside the combustion chamber. The tool also allows the lookers to observe this phenomenon at close quarters, without the need for computer simulation. The viewers can experience first-hand the path that the fuel takes from the tan...
