Summary

Project Vulcan is a model rocket motor test stand. Which means at its core it is a measuring device. It measures how much thrust a motor produces. We measure this thrust through the use of a load cell – the same type of electronic device that is in your weight scale. With this test stand the motor is placed in a downward position (with the motor exhaust coming out of the top). When the motor is ignited it presses down on the load-cell. That creates a small change in the electrical current and that change is measured and recorded.
