  2. Ammonium perchlorate composite propellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_perchlorate...

    Ammonium perchlorate composite propellant (APCP) is a solid rocket propellant. It differs from many traditional solid rocket propellants such as black powder or zinc-sulfur, not only in chemical composition and overall performance but also by being cast into shape, as opposed to powder pressing as with black powder. This provides manufacturing ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection_charge

    Ejection charge (commonly Black Powder), [1] also called expelling charge, is a pyrotechnic composition, a type of a pyrotechnic gas generator designed to produce a small short-term amount of thrust to burst open a container and eject its content. In model rocketry, ejection charges are used to deploy a recovery system (usually parachute or

  5. Black powder rocket motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_powder_rocket_motor

    Black powder rocket propellant is very similar in makeup to old-fashioned gunpowder. The main difference is the presence of a binder, usually dextrin. The commonly used Estes model rocket engines are made with black powder propellant. [2] Black powder propellant must be pressed very tightly in order to function well.

  7. Black powder substitute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_powder_substitute

    A black powder substitute is a replacement for black powder (gunpowder), primarily used in muzzleloading firearms. Substitutes may have slightly different properties from gunpowder such as: reduced sensitivity as an explosive, increased efficiency as a propellant powder, different density, and/or reduced ignition efficiency.

  8. Gunpowder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder

    Gunpowder is a low explosive: it does not detonate, but rather deflagrates (burns quickly). This is an advantage in a propellant device, where one does not desire a shock that would shatter the gun and potentially harm the operator; however, it is a drawback when an explosion is desired.

  9. Smokeless powder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokeless_powder

    Finnish smokeless powder. Smokeless powder is a type of propellant used in firearms and artillery that produces less smoke and less fouling when fired compared to black powder. Because of their similar use, both the original black powder formulation and the smokeless propellant which replaced it are commonly described as gunpowder.
