Grain Assembly

Here are several images of the grain assembly. There were 6 segments, 80 pounds in all, which had to be glued together and aligned into a single grain with a 7 point star core. The grains were glued together with silicone sealant.

Suger Shot 2 Space Static Test Video

noreply@blogger.com (James L. Davidson) — Mon, 07 May 2012 23:52:00 +0000

Saturday, May 5th, Sugar Shot to Space had a static test of the first stage on a half scale motor at the FAR (Friends of Amateur Rocketry) facility in the Mojave Desert. 80 lbs of propellant with a delay plug in the bulkhead, same as in the 2-stage setup. However it was just a test to see if 1 stage could be successful. Unfortunately, as the video shows, the test failed only a second into the burn! The 1st video is normal speed, shot on the 5D, the second video was handheld at 60fps on my 7D, playing back at 24 fps.

I will do another post soon of additional shots, but please be patient as I am gearing up for a trip to India.

Alright, so I've been bad at updating for a while, but I had a few minutes to sit down and review some photos I took up at Convict Lake in California at my cousin's wedding. There was a huge storm that came in with winds up to a 100 mph over the sierras, here's a brief time-lapse of some clouds taken at 1 frame a second the day after the storm.

I've been gone for a while, been pretty busy, I had several HD's crash, including my photo library and my backup, and then the backup of my backup. Needless to say, I will not be purchasing anymore seagate drives for a while!

I recently went on a trip to China, here is an image I took at the 798 artist's park in Beijing, more to come soon!

The Search for a signal

noreply@blogger.com (James L. Davidson) — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 07:58:00 +0000

Reminiscent of the days when one needed to adjust the rabbit ears on the tv to get a good signal, which usually involved standing in a certain position in a room...

School session at Jumma Masjid

While touring Mysore, we stopped at the Jumma Masjid in Tipu Sultan's Fort. School was in session, but that didn't seem to slow down any of the tour guides who would just walk right through.

A picture of my Nephew, he is very photogenic, I couldn't stop taking photos of him. Here he was much more interested in the packaging than the contents!

There was a rare occasion where the hallway was empty for a second, yet this guard wouldn't step aside, which has ended up making a more interesting picture I think.
