#Brazing in progress of the high strength vertical axis support structure that gets built into the reinforced walls of our #test rigs this week. Coupled with high strength non-reactive reinforced #concrete cement and heavy #fire bricks lining... The support structure is especially critical for our thrust motors test slated for later this week. The #ThrustMotor is essentially a high power #rocket #engine that's kept stationary, instead of flying away, while the engine feeds off of it's #energy. For which, it's essential to secure the support structure into the test facility building's core... making the apparant weight of motor equal to the building's. Since it's thrust-to-weight ratio isn't high enough to lift the building, the motor is secured from flying away. Quite #cool, if you think about it? :) #RocketEngineering #CivilEngineering #TestRunOne #CountdownStarts #EngineeringAtItsBest #deMITasseEnergies (at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi)
