Introduction

Hello everyone,

my name is Simon, I am an electronics engineer in Cardiff, Wales. I work in Cardiff on automation in the automotive sector. I am a stem ambassador and enjoy building cool projects.

I have participated in many projects from variable power supplies to drones and EV’s. My biggest range of projects come in the form of rockets. 

with rockets I have created series, clusters, scratch builds and now looking at hybrid fuels. I’m a very approachable guy so please reach out if you would like to chat or collaborate on a project. 

happy building everyone! Grin

    Welcome. Here in the E14 Community you can reach for the moon (ugh bad pun) with activities. The whole rocket thing is fascinating. Maybe we get to see it in a community project.

    Hi Simon!

    Great to have you join us.

    I’d love to see some rocket pictures one day! Small model rocketry was one of my childhood hobbies while in Northern Alberta, but I live close to a Canadian Forces base now, and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t appreciate that kind of hobby from my backyard now Wink

    Welcome to element14 Simon.

    I has been many decades since I worked with rockets.

    In the 1960's we all flew rockets and did the calculations for thrust and altitude.

    We sent up mice and the first hobby rocket camera's.
