Testing ammonium perchlorate magnalium olive oil rocket propellant

[anjin33]

Burnrate of amperc propellant increases dramatically under pressure :)

So that looks pretty good I must say :) But the only problem you could be running into, is the low burnrate of the propellant I think. The big point of rocketry is that you wan't to change as much as posible mass into energy in a short period of time.

ma a sort of binder material such as phenol resins or polyureathane based binder. It will increase the density of the propellant witch automaticly increases the efficiency of the prop.

Thank you for your reply! Olive oil is quite an unusual choise for a binder, but I didn't have any mineral oil nor phenol resin available. I'll try to get some and test it, because it burns quite slow indeed.

Do you think NC laquer could work as well?

When is the launch of the rocket?

@Norfeldt

Well I'm testing various propellants now, and I'll make the actual rockets when I have the time.

I'm quite busy with my chemistry studies, so it'll probably be in a month or two :)
