  2. 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.

  3. 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 ...

  5. Rocket propellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_propellant

    The rocket is launched using liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen cryogenic propellants. Rocket propellant is used as reaction mass ejected from a rocket engine to produce thrust. The energy required can either come from the propellants themselves, as with a chemical rocket, or from an external source, as with ion engines.

  6. Pyrotechnic initiator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrotechnic_initiator

    In comparison with black powder, BPN burns significantly hotter and leaves more of solid residues, therefore black powder is favored for multiple-use systems. BPN's high temperature makes it suitable for uses where rapid and reproducible initiation is critical, e.g. for airbags, rocket engines, and decoy flares. It is however relatively expensive.

  7. Gunpowder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder

    Complete manufactured devices containing black powder are usually classified as Group D: Secondary detonating substance, or black powder, or article containing secondary detonating substance, such as firework, class D model rocket engine, etc., for shipment because they are harder to ignite than loose powder. As explosives, they all fall into ...

    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 ...

  9. Rocket candy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_candy

    Rocket candy, or R-Candy, is a type of rocket propellant for model rockets made with a form of sugar as a fuel, and containing an oxidizer. The propellant can be divided into three groups of components: the fuel, the oxidizer, and the (optional) additive(s).
