Beach Shoot #10 - Aluminium Hummer

Date: 2003-11-07

Description

Very similar to the previous Titanium hummer, just using 10% Aluminium flakes instead.

Comments

Worked OK.

Aluminium really needs a higher temp to ignite and burn with white sparks. At meal temperatures is gives goldern sparks with the occassional white ones from air-burning fragments.

This one maxed out at only 320 Hz, or about 19 kRPM. The hole wasn't drilled in an optimal position, which may have been the reason for its poor rotational performance.
