About that warhead...As a former auto mechanic I know a wheel bearing when I see it. :rolleyes:

You put a bearing cup in the body tube and you have a spinning cone for ablative purposes :D

Check out the Estes 2007 catalog. Look at page 17 (top) Kit #0807 Lucky SEVEN from the X-Prize competition

Either that or an outer front wheel bearing for a VW beetle.

Yes. It's a Timken bearing attached to a Christmas tree ornament--or possibly to a US Navy DC plug.
