  • Nice T-Shirt ( :

  • @mojaverockets Thanks :)

  • Can I use powdered iron to substitute zinc?

  • @fortuneplant1

    Probably not. Zinc and sulfur makes a violent reaction - sufficient to be used as propellant.

  • Same question here: Are the motors cored?

  • @pyrosimple

    actually, it provides more thrust, but less efficient

  • very good vid !

  • @pyrosimple The main reason is research, and because of Zn/S big exhaust flame (the biggest one)

  • @Shturia then why use it?

  • @pyrosimple

    No, Isp (Zn/S) is about 30s-40s; R-Candy is about 120s-130s in real motor.
