Hey everybody,
I am James. I live in Wisconsin. A teacher of mine who taught me Chemistry and Honors Biology told me about this forum sometime last year. Currently I am a Senior in High School, and I am in AP Physics, AP Chemistry, AP History, and AP government, followed by four other classes. My favorite has to be the physics, but for what I like to do it just isn't complete without the Chemistry. I have a small rocket club. We operate at my grandparents farm. They sold their cows a couple years ago so we confiscated their milk house for our lab. We are currently working on experimental rocket motors using Black Powder and Rocket Candy. We have allot of connections I guess, my friend just got a hold of an unlimited supply of titanium tubing for motor casings, and I have an uncle with a lathe and a mill. And another member has a father who works in a metal shop of sorts. It's quite convenient. Right now I have Electrolysis going on in my kitchen making some rust. Tonight I am going to try the dangerous bleach to steel wool experiment to make rust. All in the name of Thermite. After I high school I am going to college where I have been accepted at the University of Alabama in Huntsville to major in Music and Aerospace Engineering. Anyway, I figured I'd introduce myself and let you all know what I like to do in my free time. This forum seems like it will be very beneficial to my rocketry club and myself. I also hope to contribute.
Also, soon I'll have a website up for our club so you can all see videos and pictures.
Thanks!
