h2. Unsorted list of ideas

* Indoor test stand for testing a compressed air "cold gas thruster":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_gas_thruster
* 3D printed cold gas thruster for use on an indoor test stand
* staging hobby and high-powered rocket motors
* develop a series of larger test stands scaled around the classes of model and high powered rocketry certifications
* recreate Greg's undergrad sugar hybrid motor
* upgrade Mach 30 test stand DAQ to include high speed video
* develop Arduino (or similar) model rocket launch controller board (including physical safety lock)
* upgrade Mach 30 test stand DAQ to work over ethernet to extend operational range between operators and test stand
* series of courses/kits to take users through high powered rocketry certs ("required to purchase high powered motors":http://www.apogeerockets.com/Rocket_Motors/Cesaroni_Propellant_Kits/Cesaroni_Certification_Special/38mm_Certification_Propellants/Cesaroni_P38-4G_Classic_I285?zenid=vsrisevkgniqf6afnkdrnmu2k1)
