Summary

Today I tested the a combustion chamber I built with four fuels and a gutter-type flame holder with one fuel. Sustained combustion was achieved with each but with differing strengths. The testing was captured on 8 mm video tape with stills shown below. A decision was reached on a single fuel to pursue.

Additional Observations

Extrapolations

These extrapolations are nothing more than Wild-Assed Guesses (WAGs). The are offered only because, for the amateur community, not better information exists. Take these with a ton of salt (don't count on them). Hopefully in the not too distant future better information will be available to the amateur rocket community.
