Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres. There are three main differences with the previous test. The first is the propellant mixing process, which had been improved. Moreover the grains' ends had been spaced by a small anular ring (~0.25mm height). Lastly the igniter's powder quantity had been increased (~ 0.45g).
In respect to the two previous tests the average pressure corresponds to what we expected, however the combustion trend is strongly decreasing.
Igniter's gas flux ignited within 20ms the exposed surfaces.
In the following test we tried to decrease igniter's powder quantity.
