Looking at the frontside of the 100kN testbed. From the left to the right: the iron pad, the tall chamber, a technician, the supply platform with 3 oxygen tanks, auxilliary devices, two containers.
In this picture you can see the scale of a chamber of 70kN thrust in relation to a 175cm tall person.
A panorama view of our 100kN testbed. Pad, supply platform and three rocket chambers can be transported within two small standard containers. A normal truck with trailer is sufficient.
You can see two fresh rocket chambers within the left container. The third chamber is allready mounted on the pad in the front.
The auxilliary devices of our testbed from the left to the right: butane gas vessel, pressure air vessel, electric generator, compressor and a kerosene barrel for propelling the mentioned devices.
A close view of the thrust pad. It can stand dynamic oscillating forces of 50kN amplitude and 100kN offset.
