Wheres the ka-boom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering ka-boom!

There are books on the internet (and a really good one at a website called SkyLighter(dot)com) that tell you how to make really nice fireworks. That's fireworks, NOT EXPLOSIVES. Rockets, cones, roman candles, and even mortars. The same website also sells everything you need from chemicals to tubes.

@billhaley1868 Why would there be a ka-boom? Those are called salutes and, while they are fairly easy to make, the chemicals involved are very touchy. That just screams accident waiting to happen. On the other hand, with these motors you can add coloring, stick them on an angle and attatch them on a circular frame, and you have one of the pretties fireworks ever. More work for sure, but the feeling seeing it go up is priceless.

@ononys you do cardboard or pcv pipping?

if you lounch from a pvc tube stuck in the grown or mounted on a flat board it will go much strighter up in the air it makes a big differance, keeps it from going into the ground, but don't drop the rocket inside the tube just hang it on the inside edge, hope this helps some...!

The stick, yes.
The motor tubes/nozzles, only a few times.
They burn through pretty quick.

Fun rockets, but think about the fact that building your own rockets isn´t a good idea, you might loose fingers :/

If you take the necessary safety precautions and be careful; you minimize the risk.
Also, you're unlikely to have a finger-removing explosion with a sugar rocket motor in a cardboard tube, even if you tried. That's what M-80 and Silver Salutes are for.

um how do you make the motor. Do you twist the edges of a tight hole or something?

It's a hand rolled cardboard tube, with rammed clay ends.
