Rockets!

[Fluburtur]

For a bit more than two months now I have been developing candy rocket engines with the objective of powering a rc plane with one and make some rockets too, most of my test fires failed with either the fuel not burning well or the nozzle ejecting but today I finally got some good result so I figured it is time to share this.

This one generated about 110 grams of thrust at peak, my goal is 400 grams.
I have one rocket that did generate over 400 but the nozzle flew out, nozzle design is hard!

I will make new nozzles soon and try more rockets, im not too far from having a design that works.
If someone that knows about this kind of rockets cares to help me I would greatly appreciate it!

Look up our friend David W over at http://rcexplorer.se - he's done some neat nozzle design work for his Rocket Knife youtube series

Rocket NIIIIiiiiiffffe......

I want smoke.... Have pondered the idea of using vape stuff to add smoke. Also pondered just making igniters that I can trigger with a PWM signal to start smoke canisters....

Cheers!
