Hello Everyone,
For my high school science research project, I want to research different 3D-printed nozzle designs for a Cold Gas Thruster. I want to learn about this type of propulsion as I research. However, I'm confused about how I would build the entire system and test stand. I want to be able to visualize the flow, but I don't need it to produce a crazy amount of thrust and last for a long time. Just a decent amount of thrust and a few seconds. I want to build it with household materials or from hardware stores (like HomeDepot). Can someone please give me some insights or tips (building process/propellant)? Thank you!
Here are the videos that seem like what I want my build to look like
(maybe this is a overreach)
