Demonstration of using explosive bolts for the separation of solid rocket boosters (SRB) by Richard Dierking on high power rockets at the December 2010 monthly meeting of the Rocketry Organization of California on Lucerne Valley Dry Lake, Mojave Desert, California. Unfortunately, I didn't get any video of the flight. It worked perfectly with all four boosters igniting as planned but also falling away together. Excellent job Richard.I know I'll be doing this sometime soon.
