YT2095 Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 I`ve made what seems to be a great rocket fuel!, for solid rocket motors (model), the only problem is that it detonates I need a binder/regulator to make it Viable. I`ve tried plasticising it (Blu-Tak and petrol, then collect the liquid when the grit drops out) that just makes a plastic explosive I`ve tried solidifying it in Styrene, but then it doesn`t burn reliably is too much used, and not enough and crumbles or blows up maybe a good idea to add this: DDT= Deflagration to Detonation Transition. any ideas?
NSX Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 How did you make this rocket fuel? What is it made of?
YT2095 Posted September 13, 2003 Author Posted September 13, 2003 the fuel is an organic peroxide, HMTD (HexaMethyleneTriperoxideDiamine) it has a detonation velocity of near 6000 meters per second, but at a low density in the open it will just flash off it seemed ideal as it leaves no solid wastes and Is quiet easy to make.
