[Mikey @Whyyf4]

Is it time to finish this project

[Mikey @Whyyf4]

hardware unboxing day is always the best day 😎

[Mikey @Whyyf4]

I was interviewing with this company as this part dropped on twitter and i was genuinely flabbergasted

It’s not the dfm issues with this part that gets me, it’s the confidence that this was 100% the right way to make this 😭

[Christian Keil @pronounced_kyle]

guys... the part is real

I held it in my hands, honestly felt like meeting a celebrity

If you are looking for engineers, hire from A&M. Great people on Rocket Engine Design and Sounding Rocketry Team.

@ansonyuu whoops, opened!

[Mikey @Whyyf4]

Howdy! If you're interested in helping fund a propellent tank and possibly an airframe for this engine so we can do long duration hotfires and possibly launch a rocket with this,

DM me! >:)

[Mikey @Whyyf4]

It's uncanny how easy it is

2 hotfires yesterday; Design to test in 12 weeks

[Mikey @Whyyf4]

To be clear, monetary donations would be best so we can build out custom hardware ^

@ichnisanshi217 This engine uses a pretty standard ox-centered pintle injector

[Lucas Lacy @LucasLacy5]

This past semester @Whyyf4 recruited me and some friends to help build a liquid regen engine.

Initial design began 12 weeks ago, parts arrived 2 weeks ago, and yesterday we hot-fired not once, but twice.

Gig ‘Em!
