Rocket Propellent

Yes, but is that for solid fueled rockets and hybrid rockets? Hybrid rockets are much different than solid fueled ones. Solid fueled already have the oxidizer and fuel mixed which could be ignited at anytime but a hybrid rocket has the two separated until the time of ignition.

Liquid fueled with kerosene and hydrogen preoxide

how pure must the hyfrogen peroxide be?

I also would like to know.

Let's just say if you can't find that out on your own, you have NO business working with it...

Ok I took the liberty of finding out. Its hard to find in the link so heres what it says Hydrogen Peroxide (85% concentration). I dont know about you but my Hydrogen Peroxide is only 3%. Ill try to find out how to get a higer concentration.

I hope you don't kill yourself trying to make rocket fuel...

For [expletive deleted] sake crazyfreak0075 you had a basic combustion explode on you. Unless you're trying to contend for a Darwin Award don't mess with this stuff.

They are BOTH completly ILLEGAL if you don't have the license for it.

What about ground tests?

[cannon freak]

So it's illegal to fly a rocket with a home made motor, but is it illeagle to make them without flying them in canada?

Where did you find this out by the way?

[Dom]

I found this out by calling

- Service Canada
- Ministry of Justice of Canada and Ontario
- Ottawa Police Service.

are hybrid rockets legal to be tested in the united states?

[cannon freak]

Since it seems that to launch a homemade chemical rocket motor is illegal, Ive decided to experiment with steam rockets which are not illegal. I plan on making a few prototype engines first out of 3/4" copper. Any suggestions of a large pressure chamber that doesn't weigh to much and can hold around 6 - 700PSI and really high temperatures?

In case you don't know a steam rocket works from the water inside the pressure chamber being full of water and then being heated beyond boiling point but it cannot be come steam because it is in the chamber then when it exists the nozzle it instantly turns to steam really violently causing quite a bit of thrust, not as good as a normal rocket motor but you can always scale it up.

not the best explanation but I think you get the idea.

Where in Canada are you, because people where I live have rockets.
Although, if I were you I wouldn't try to build a rocket, you'd end up killing yourself, I looked into it 5 days ago and decided on a jet engine instead

New Brunswick.

Do you mean homemade ones or bought from a store?
