How To Make Rocket Fuel

Jul 2, 2016was going to make some model rocket motors this weekend. Had a few choices for fuel+oxidizer combinations: Jul 26, 2016homemade rocket fuel choices okay, that's good to know.

Sep 16, 2007in the game project i'm working on, robots mine asteroids for ice (among other materials) to convert into rocket fuel. Oct 4, 2025q&a fuel and oxidizer mass ratios fuel-rich simply means more fuel than the stoichiometric ratio, in other words more fuel than can be burned completely with the oxidiser, not. Jan 20, 20253) given the rocket equation, putting more fuel to the rocket (and making it bigger) gets more payload, but compensated by more weight.

Jan 19, 2024i recently read that spacex thinks they can make $20b a year on starlink. Apr 28, 2023how about some odd rocket suggestions? One of the simplest rockets for the amateur is using nitrous oxide as the oxidiser in a hybrid motor.

The fuel can be almost anything which burns. Jul 26, 2016homemade rocket fuel choices it depends. If you're making rocket motors out of single sections with plugs on both ends, and you have high chamber pressure, then you can run the risk of.

Nov 5, 2009so why do rockets cost so much? Is the the quantity of the fuel used, the high standards required of the rocket casing and motors or is it mostly intellectual property cost?
