[KoD] and [Navic] are building solid propellant motors using sugar and potassium nitrate. They cook up the two ingredients along with water and a bonding agent. They find that corn syrup is ...

A solid-propellant rocket or solid rocket is a rocket with a rocket engine that uses solid propellants (fuel/oxidizer). The earliest rockets were solid-fuel rockets powered by gunpowder; they were ...

[Markus Bindhammer] worked out a way to make solid rocket propellant from newspaper. Judging from the test footage after the break the home made engines work great! There isn’t a long list of ...

A hybrid-propellant rocket is a rocket with a rocket motor that uses rocket propellants in two different phases: one solid and the other either gas or liquid. The hybrid rocket concept can be traced ...

It will lift satellites into orbit by burning its own body as ... rocket engine to change that. It burns a solid propellant rod that doubles as the rocket body itself. A rigid tube of polyethylene ...

The rocket, a reaction-propulsion device that carries all of its propellants internally, has been around for almost a millennium since its invention in China. But the twentieth-century saw a ...

Friday's launch failed soon after blast-off, prompting the solid-propellant rocket to initiate self-destruction, CAS Space said in a statement, without stating the number of satellites onboard.

The fuel and oxidizer in a rocket, known as propellants, can be solid or liquid. Solid propellants were utilised in the side boosters of the space shuttle, although liquid propellants are employed ...

Dr. Buhler's journey toward creating the propellant-less rocket started with a desire to find a better way to travel through space. Traditional rockets rely on burning massive amounts of fuel to ...

Uses of energetic materials include flares, matches, solid rocket boosters, gun propellants ... solid form and release a lot of energy through burning or exploding, depending on their shape ...
