Huge KNO3 Rocket EXPLODES

One of my seemingly reliable 3/4 inch PVC rockets had a horrific CATO during an ejection charge test. The rocket turned into a pipebomb and when it exploded, it sent shards of PVC Pipe Flying everywhere and bits of burning propellant onto my driveway. The suspect is likely a nozzle that was accidentally made too small. Its a shame, but it happens to everyone someday. I hope you enjoy.

@Dyograph I made the fuse. It is called black match, and I have a tutorial on my channel. I warn you the video isn't that great and its kind of long.

I'm just curious isn't it a safety hazard to have wood next to it?

[MrMetalfor666]

@4states1universe lol u might be doing the same wrong thing over n over then. Id consider trying something different

[ParaglidingManiac]

So in order to convert that energy from the fuel into pure thrust, I just need to put a cap on the bottom of the rocket and drill a hole in it?

[paul911d]

i think for a fuse just tie a string to it lol
