What's the best way to airstart a motor in a near vacuum? My initial guess is to keep the engine nozzle capped (and pressurized) until it hits something like 100psi (when the cap bursts). Are there any other methods which make ignition in a near vacuum reliable?
Thanks in advance! Dave
That's the one.
Maybe more than 100psi.

Tech Jerry!
Phenolic plate pre-scored in a radial 4+ position pattern and hydrostatic pressure tested to 300psi.
Pardon the tech post!!

I won't tell if you won't :-) Especially since it'll be some time after getting level 3 before it becomes relevent. Thanks non the less.
Don't waste much effort on burst disks. Just use a good size copper-thermite igniter.
