WWW.PYROSECRETS.COM This was a test of some Ammonium Perchlorate Rocket propellant I made using PBAN resin, Ammonium Perchlorate, and copper oxide as a catalyst and colorant. The engine was made using a 1" diameter by 1.25" long fuel grain, loaded into 1" Schedule 40 PVC pipe, with a bentonite/grog nozzle/header. The core extended only about .3" into the actual grain, since the pressure from a fully cored grain would have surely blown the case. The total power of the engine was about that of an upper E-class engine, but with a very long burn time. Before this one, I had about 3 engines CATO until I lowered the Ammonium perchlorate percentage for a slower burning propellant.

this is how i make smoke bombs. it is very easy. just use 60% potassium nitrate and 40% sugar.

WWW.PYROSECRETS.COM On the first test the nozzle blew, so rather than putting a new e-match in, I just stuck in a visco fuse re-lit the engine and enjoyed the nice blue color. No thrust at all since the nozzle is gone. Still looks nice though. This engine was composed of Ammonium Perchlorate, Copper Oxide, epoxy resin/hardener, and Aluminum.

A fire of rocket propellant in the open air. It burns bright, it burns hot, but it must in time burn out. Dedicated to the life, flights, friendship and memory of Greg Lawson

Ammonium Nitrate Composite Propellant (ANCP) burning. Ammonium Nitrate: 52.8%; R-45HTLO binder: 22%; E 744 curative: 3.21%; magnalium (600 mesh), 22%. Propellant grain is 2" long and fits inside 1" PVC pipe.

Jimmy`s Home page http://www.jamesyawn.com/ Very useful website The snap test, "if you can bend it as a U, it means that it is not quite dry yet, have it in the pan a few minutes more".. and please do not harm you now ... use only such a boiler, not on the range please! My English is limited, if it wrong syllables, let me know.. thank you ---- Ok...

NOTE! These are professionals, do not simulate! Short fat slugs of rocket propellant seem to dance as they are discardec by burning. Note how slow the big slug burned.

This footage shows the launch of a small end-burner rocket engine, using the cast KNSU mix as fuel.

A static test if sugar syrup propellant in a 1 1/4 inch pvc motor with a steel nozzle. The video is from jamesyawn.com It sucks not having a good camera. My static tests very very similar if not the same but I didn't get them on tape. It maxed out the force gauge. Sugar syrup appears to have potential. It's easier to make than recrystalized and the propellant is almost as good. It can be made very quickly and can also be made in the field on a camp stove. A big plus.

Heres a quick tutorial i whipped up. sorry about the camrea, its really shit. I should be getting a stand this christmas.

http://www.davideskenazi.be/ Here are two combustion tests featuring two Rcandy propellant samples. Test1: 12g of propellant, too humid, not cooked enough, electrical ignition. Test2: 12g of propellant, dry enough, electrical ignition.

A test I did to see how good the rocket propellant was after I cooked it.

Home made rcandy consisting of KNO3, Karo Syrup, Cane Sugar, Water, and a little bit of love : )....which comes out to be.....AWESOME ROCKET PROPELLANT!!!

These were a couple of unusable KNER propellant grains. I burned them outside just to see what the propellant looks like as it burns. This is 2 Bates grains, each 2.5" x 1.3" with .5" core

This is a clip from the sacramento aerojet plant in 1991 where my father had worked as a scientist for 33 years there. He developed a environmentally safe propellant and to me it was one of the best things that he created while he was there.
