Patent attributes
A rocket motor includes at least one inert rod. The inert rod has a groove that extends along the length of the inert rod. The groove may be machined by a lathe, die, and/or CNC machine, such that the groove is configured helically around the rod. A reactive wire is inserted into the groove along the length of the inert rod. The grooved inert rod, and the reactive wire together constitute the burn rate enhancer assembly. The rocket motor is configured such that the burn rate enhancer assembly is inserted into a rocket motor casing. The rocket motor casing is then filled with a burnable propellant grain, the highly loaded grain, which is in a liquid or semi-solid state. The highly loaded grain then cures in the rocket motor casing around the burn rate enhancer assembly.
