[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 ...

[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 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 ...

When mixed together, these two ignite, which results in propellant exiting the nozzle very quickly to propel the rocket. These systems do not require any sort of ignition system, so they’re ...

X-Bow Systems, a US supplier of advanced manufactured solid rocket motors (SRMs), has announced the successful test-fire of ...

Through the TACTILE program, the Department of Defense successfully launched a rocket with a 3D printed motor.

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 ...

Some rockets use hypergolic propellants, which spontaneously burn ... to plan for this when designing rockets if they're going to make it to space. We've all seen footage of rockets that fail ...

In hybrid models, the solid fuel is kept separate from the liquid propellant ... of this type fly,” said Aiden Ballard, ...

But the twentieth-century saw a technological explosion of new rocket-propulsion systems, using both solid and liquid propellants. Rocket-powered vehicles were developed for two primary purposes: ...
