This site is dedicated to the testing I and others prepare for each year at an
annual week of mind expanding science that only nerds could enjoy. 

We call this week UpNorthCon!

Some Highlights:

 
 

PVC is without a doubt the most versitle material to develop, test and deploy single use rocket motors.  Its quick development lifecycle thru rapid prototyping allows for iteratative development that at a cost per cycle unheard of in the amature rocketry field.  PVC is easy to use, inexpensive and there is very low risk of catastrophic failures involving shrapnel (unlike metal construction).

 

 

This was the first set of tests I did with the world famous M-80 style PVC rocket
