Not certain if this is the right forum - maybe it actually belongs in the restricted area.
Someone at work asked me this question knowing I'm involved in rocketry....
Our company is involved with aircraft electrification.
There is a requirement to use an enclosure with appropriate coatings to withstand a large lithium-ion battery pack cooking off.
A "pod" was developed to perform testing outside the building for safety purposes.
They remotely induce an overload into some batteries with an appropriately coated plate.
They asked me how many joules there are in a rocket motor. The thought is to use rocket motor(s) to emulate the batteries.
The motor would be secured with the nozzle aimed at the plate.
I know I've seen blast deflector plates get a hole burned through them if the rocket hangs on the rod.
