[KoD] and [Navic] are building solid propellant motors using sugar and potassium nitrate. They cook up the two ingredients along with water and a bonding agent. They find that corn syrup is ...

We’re already quite familiar with solid rocket propellant, but this hybrid approach ... rod through which he bored a hole. There are two aluminum plates which complete either end of the chamber.

Solid particles, particularly soot and aluminum oxide (Al2O3), are commonly found in plume flows from liquid or solid-propellant rockets ... energy exchange through nonreactive collisions, combustion ...

Gelled propellants are produced from liquid propellants with the addition of gelling agents. They are solid at rest, for example in a tank, and become flowable under the influence of shear stress, as ...

However, while boron has been investigated for such applications since the 1940s, this propellant has been difficult to tame due to its variable and complex combustion behaviour. Alla Pivkina ...
