Speedup "Hybrid Ignition Test"

Bob Steinke reports on a test of "hybrid grain catalytic ignition system with a more realistic setup of pressurized oxidizer flow as opposed to just pouring on peroxide at ambient pressure" : Hybrid Ignition Test - Speed-Up - July.7.09.

When he " opened the main valve there was a white exhaust cloud, then a bang about as loud as a gunshot and the lower part of the rocket burst into flames". See the video. He gives some details as to what was learned from the test and where he wants to go next with the project.
