Sugar rocket motor + aluminum, super powerful!

Written By The Rocketeer on Tuesday, Nov 17, 2020 | 11:00 AM

 
I am testing an experimental sugar rocket motor with an additional 15% aluminum. The initial test exceeded my expectations with exceptional thrust and flames. The motor is probably close to its maximum pressure. The fuel is difficult to ignite so I am working on a new primer to bring the motor up to pressure quickly. Aluminum increases the burn rate under pressure significantly requiring a lower KN.   The sugar motor is a 2-grain 38 mm with 138 g of fuel. The PVC pipe is for support only.  I will share my results as I explore this powerful fuel! Please show your support and buy me a coffee, thanks! https://buymeacoffee.com/TheRocketeer YouTube Thanks enabled! I have over 100 rocketry videos posted!!
