How To Make Sugar Rockets (Powder Fuel)

I'm thinking on a larger one mounted securely to my bicycle. 😂

2001 wants their hair back.

Three quarter inch pvc 5 inches

the most comprehensive explanation

Can this explode?

i read that it is better to cook the rocket fuel fixture first on low heat, to melt it, is this true?

Have you the inner Humas?. 🚀

What do the bentonite clay does?

I am from Gaza, thank you very much.

This how hamas make a DIY rocket. 🎉🎉

Can this rocket explode? I want to try this but I-m scared because I don't want to kill someone accidentaly

If you put a paper clip in the ends, you can wire up a launch button with a couple 9v batteries.

Excellent, I used to make Gunpowder Rockets when younger. Now 76 years old and still interested.

I want to build one and put a camera on it to send back live video

As a chemist, I don't suggest you do this at home without safety considerations.
Several safety concerns,
1) Powered materials react faster than big chuck, especially the oxidizer. KNO3 is a hazard material and it's shock sensitive. We are not confident handling this fine oxidizer with fuel (super fine suger power)
2) Hammering or compress the fuel with oxidizer is not a good idea.
3) PPE needed. At least you need safety glasses and anti-flame cloth for this experiment.
Some suggestions.
You may improve the preparation by mixing two in some solvent like water and keep mixing it under heat until the two material formed a gum-like material.
And always remember, dont do it in your kitchen, and have your fire extinguisher ready.

Clear, crisp and concise. Most importantly this video shows how easy it is.

I saw some proposals for adding little bit of aluminium powder, but can get to strong and may need better engine body. We were making Toy granedes from iron oxides and Aluminium powder - quite unsafe game for teenagers...😢

It's good i saw this video as grown up. We used melting down NO3 in water impregnate newspapers 📰🗞️, dry it out, and cover the 🗜️ fuel body with aluminium foil. The model above is much more robust, potent, and easier to make.

The background music 💀💀💀

I made a sugar powder rocket by first melting the the recipe, thereafter I converted it back to powder form and then I compact it into a motor. I found it to be much more energetic burn.

Does the fuse need to go all the way to the top of the hole or just until it reaches the sugar mix?

I think I need to do this. Is there a way to make a report with one? A big n loud flash bang? 💥🧨

How do you secure the fuse?

And we’re do you purchase the fuses , that you stick in the bottom of rocket???

Good use for sugar.

Wonderful video. Just wondering is there any way to add some chalk powder or other type of colorant to the fuel so that it acts as a tracer for altitude tracking?

Adding 2-5% iron oxide by weight gives a much more even burn, and if you can work a sugar thermometer you can make a toffee of the oxidiser and the sugar (don't use a flame burner to heat it...) that is both denser and more predictable than the powder.

Using Imperial measurments is not rocket science... 😁

What about a fuse how do I make that?

This video became unwatchable due to the overbearing music playing over the commentary. Completely unnecessary and annoying.

What a wonderfully put together video. Clear and concise, could even be from a military manual. Safety first, well done.

The prohibition on transport, this is a prohibition on storing more of these engines than you need at 1 time.

What is used for the fuse ?

Oh yeah, this is something I need to try.

Yooooo ethan going nuts with sugar rockets thanks for the tuto dude

Get out of my search history fbi

Dude you light a fuse but u don't show how to make it , no fuse no rocket

Nice rocket, but, were you able to retrieve it when it landed?

what will be if to add some food coloring? will it make the smoke being colored?

Powdered sugar is half cornstarch. Would blending up 100% sugar be more effective?

Спасибо тебе мужик! Это очень интересно. Но из всего этого могу найти только сахар болт и трубу ну еще иглину с работы притащить

DAMN! I could even follow that! Just be careful and keep on learning. 😎👍

tell her no blenders were harmed during the process

Like cardboard tubes. They decompose.

any thing i can use instead of pottasium nitrate

Use a heavy-weight Welders Glove & eye protection - you never know !
