BigR, 120lbs of thrust -vs- 5lbs of water
Uhhh - uh, nice try Tom!

Thrust Curves are specified functions of time. Therefore a thrust that maintains equal average force over it's specified life is preferable to one
that expends all of its " Newton / Sec's " in the first second.

Still quite admirable, I'da loved to see the expressions when that thing blew up at 120 psi!
