ERPL Promo (2011-06-04)

The Experimental Rocket Propulsion Lab (ERPL) at Embry-Riddle is a student-run organization dedicated to the study of rocket motors, including research, development, manufacturing, and testing of different engine and rocket propellant configurations. Currently the club splits itself into three divisions: Solid Motors, Liquid Engines, and Hybrid Rocket teams. The goal of ERPL is to provide a hands-on learning experience for Embry-Riddle students involving the different disciplines required to successfully make rocket engines and apply their classroom knowledge to real-life projects involving rocketry.

Hybrid Rocket test - HYDRUS 1 Test 2 (1000 fps) (2011-06-04)

ERPL Hybrid rocket engine test fire. This is our second successful attempt at test firing our experimental flight hybrid motor, the Hydrus. It is an evolved version of our previous engine, dubbed Hydra. This engine has a burn time of about 5.6 seconds and has impulse within NAR G. It uses HDPE as the fuel and Nitrous Oxide as the oxidizer.
