re: how do i build a simple liquid or solid fuel rocket engi

Red,

It's quite alright, but for others who didn't get to see what I removed, here's the appendix. Keep in mind, it was for building explosive missiles. Do you want to be taking advice from the author of this .pdf?

Deleted one of those, this is not a forum to find information on illegal activities. Ungiuded missiles are certainly not something i'd consider legal...

re: Window in combustion chamber?

The thing about webcams is that they are amazingly sensetive to IR radiation. Just think about all the digital camera photos of engines running on this forum. Most of them have little statements with them, to the tune of "appears hotter then it actually is". You'd have a hell of a time trying to wor...

re: See. This is what you get when you do it wrong.

This is what annoys me actually, one of my pet peeves. A few of the guys I know like to play with fire, yet they never know the chemistry behind what's going on, so they often injure themselves from a reaction that got out of hand. If people just had a little bit of chemical knowledge, so much like ...

re: Flying Spaghetti

From one of the auctions;
All of our Fish car plaques are made of shiny pretty plastic and come with a super-self-adhesive back.
Suitable for adhering to a car bumper, front door, or small child.
Made me chuckle.

re: how do i build a simple liquid or solid fuel rocket engi

I am very tempted to lock this thread, it's going nowhere fast. To Driveit, You seem hellbent on not following our advice. You are not going to get anywhere with this on your own, I can assure you. You seem to have almost no idea of the chemistry of how this works, no evidence of stochiometry equati...

re: how do i build a simple liquid or solid fuel rocket engi

Driveit. I didn't expect that you had built an engine before, but it is nothing more then common sense. If you don't even know that the chemicals you are using are meant to burn, you seriously need to read up on the topic before you even /think/ of attempting to build an engine. I'm not trying to ge...

re: how do i build a simple liquid or solid fuel rocket engi

Ok. Driveit, you really need to understand that it is actually possible to use your own brain to find answers. The ever-popular search engine, Google, yields many results when used in conjunction with the search terms we have already provided you. I found out by looking, so can you. Oh, and it's a r...

re: CO2 powerlet engine

I Seriously doubt you will acheive combustion. The pressures of both those tanks (Whipped cream and Butane) will be far to low to achieve proper combustion methinks. There is a system I have seen on Areocon systems, where they built basically what you have designed, but it was regenitively cooled. H...

re: Steam rocket

Quick question. Can I ask your 1) age and 2) first language? There are some things that I picked up on that are not the result of texting too much, so I'm just curious.
