Magnesium & CO2 Rocket

This is one of my experiments with hybrid engines I performed with Magnesium and Carbon Dioxide fuel mixture. As you can or can not see on this movie, rocket is very fast, engine is something like pulse motor with great thrust for a short period of time.
It is not easy to see this very fast rocket, but if you carefully watch, it is possible to detect that some high pressurized gases percolated through the faucet and ejected the nose cone. Rocket than continued to fly without nose...
But, pay attention to the scary sound of rocket rather than flight performance.

can you do some static tests of this???

[900kmh]

Did you use hammered magnesium powder with core or a solid block with core?

It would be very interesting to know the burnrate. Nice job!
