That line started with the 29mm Enerjet 30 "G" and went up to the Enerjet 200 "J".

Would be really interested to hear from anyone with these motors in their collection and any pictures they would be willing to share.

About 25 years ago I got to see what I recall was an Enerjet 30, but remember nothing about what it looked like.

I have to admit that I'd be curious to see examples of these myself.

I have a number of old Vulcan high power motors from my earlier high power days in the late 80s and early 90s....G80s and such up through several I160s and a couple J250 Hellfire motors, and a sprinkling of Aerotech single-use stuff, but I have only one Enerjet composite motor and that was not obtained until this past February or so from a former manager of Centuri's motor plant.

This Enerjet motor is an 'unlabeled' F67, which he was able to send down to Augusta, GA (where I am) by way of one of his friends who was visiting family here in the area at the time. I only met this fellow from an eBay sale of an original 'red' #13 plastic fin unit (like used on the Enerjet 1340 series of 'professional' rocket kits). Recognizing the somewhat more 'rare' red color of the fin unit, I asked the seller of the fin unit (which I eventually won in the auction) where he/they got it, and he told me his Centuri background. Days later he sends an email saying he has a friend that will be visiting the Augusta area and that this person will be bringing with him this unlabeled Enerjet motor to give to me....for FREE!

But yes, I too would LOVE to see some examples of the Enerjet 'professional' line of motors. THOSE would really be the forerunners of high power (H and above) as we know it today.

Jerry I., you readin' this thread??
