I was using KN/Sugar how well did the glow plug work? that sounds
interesting.

I did some quick work on using sugar for igniters once. I used Epoxy and
KN. It burns pretty slow which should be good for this. I used a diesel
glow plug to start it.

As a mater of fact I have! about 2 years ago, especially for start up. I
guess all we can do is see how this goes. But yeah thanks for keeping a
sharp eye out.

I'm making progress rapidly right now.

Monroe,

If you are looking at HTP to drive your turbine have you considered a
gas generator using solids? SP125 has some details on the subject. You
can inject water to cool the hot gas and to increase volume.
