[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 ...
The 13-ft tall, eight-inch diameter craft was fueled by a custom-made, 'ammonium perchlorate composite' solid ... to the USC Rocket Propulsion Lab (USCRPL), 'each propellant grain is made by ...
Kalam-5 is a solid motor. These are high thrust, low-cost rocket engines with propellant in solid form. In addition to being cost-effective, they are also highly reliable with fewer moving parts.
Energetic materials include propellants, pyrotechnics, fuels and explosives, and they’re used in all sorts of settings. Uses of energetic materials include flares, matches, solid rocket boosters ...
