What is the Flux Capaciter?
It is a new type of rocket apogee detector that senses the Earth’s magnetic field. When tip-over at apogee occurs, the first channel is fired. An adjustable timer is used for main. • Does it measure altitude? No, only recovery functions are provided. It can be flown with a peak reading altimeter, like the Transolve P1, with one 9V battery powering both! • Why should I use the Flux Capaciter for back-up? Altimeters from any company have been known to fail for various reasons: Forgetting to turn on. Battery failure. Bad flashbulb / match. Incorrect Supersonic Inhibit Delay. Inproper acceleration profile (can prevent accel unit arming). Microprocessor reboot. (RF from xmtr can affect). Computer crash at apogee due to power supply droop. Wiring problems. Venting / pressure equalization problems. Ejection charge pressure leak to altimeter bay. The Flux Capaciter has a G-switch which actually turns the power on at take-off. A Safety Timer that is independent of the computer ensures apogee fi
