The first step is to calculate the volume of the altimeter bay:
Volume (cubic inches) = Bay radius (inches) X Bay Radius (inches) X Bay
Length (inches) x 3.14
Volume = 3.75 X 3.75
X 16 X 3.14
Volume = 14.06 X 16 X
3.14
Volume = 224.96 X
3.14
Volume = 706.37 cubic
inches
The next step is to calculate
a single hole size required to stabilize the pressure:
Single Poet Diameter
= 1.77”
Since a single hole
over 1 ¾” is too large for this rocket, multiple holes will be used. The calculation for the hole diameter is as
follows (once again from the Missile Works RRC2 Manual)
Multiport Diameter
(inches) =
Multiport Diameter =
(1.77 / 4) / 2
Multiport Diameter =
(0.44) / 2
Multiport Diameter =
0.22”
