A Sugar Powered Rocket | Street Science

How to make rocket

I came here for the science but got none. Very disappointing from Discovery Channel, I thought they'd go deeper into the chemical reaction and nozzle and how the combustion works exactly inside the rocket. This is just pretty pictures for entertainment, no science.

Well at least now we know who's setting all the forest fires

Hamas got the idea from hear😮😮

Kids' science project in Gaza be like:

I've heard of using tires that have been finely ground up as fuel, but I can't find anything on it....

So this is where Hamas got their idea😂

Can the fly to space, I wanna fly it to the speac

i know why you're here

Sugar is sweeter, hence will go higher? Very good answer.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Who's here after knowing that hamas uses something similar to the sugar rockets?

Sweeeeeet 😊

I actually made this once because i saw a video from the king of random and it went to my neighbors window and i got my ass beaten by my mom

I ordered two kilos of potassium nitrate and the FBI showed up at my door. Keep in mind that you cannot travel with a completed rocket engine that you made unless you have an explosives permit.

is jimmy a man or a chick

Regular sugar and potassium nitrate can also make a very powerful thrust.

Cool

Russia is going 😮 killed them selfs

God bless America.. God bless Ukraine

Good for Ukraine

Doesn't pvc give off some really fucking toxic chemicals when you burn it?!

nice

That was awesome. I miss the days of building rockets similar to this.

Please stop using Fahrenheit and imperial measures, it makes you sound dumb

Poderia ter uma fazenda aqui em SP que você paga pra passar o final de semana com chalés e durante o dia tem várias queimas de foguetes e a cada lançamento rolarem apostas do tipo, o ultimo que tocar no solo leva o premio. Durante a noite festas para os apostadores com prostit**ção e domingo outra leva de foguetes e almoço.

Is it possible to return to the earth ( from the moon ) with ONLY a Starship ?

Back in the 60s, the kids down the street were making rockets using sugar + potassium nitrate as a propellent. All went well until one of the kids had a few fingers torn off when the rocket motor exploded on him, as he prepared to launch. I was still too young at the time to mess with any of that, but just a few years later I briefly experimented with rockets (but I used commercially available rocket motors). Then I moved on to RC airplanes, gliders and helicopters.

If sugar can fire rockets why can’t it be used in cars?

انت رهيب

What a nice thing

E

@discovery you shoud make a mini one

sick

what was the ratio used for fuel ?

now i know if i drink soda and burf im gonna fly 3000 feet how cool is that

What oxidizer was used with the dextrose?

Wow ,one I never knew Angela landsberry was into model rocketry and two this would be a good place too start for ion propulsion rockets .

it's be cool to have a blk powder motor powered rocket as a control, but these both are quite impressive!

After watching this . I do believe that I will pick the sugar rocket to go the highest .

Hee hee haw!

It's time to get serious about sugar.

Now I see this, I wanna build it myself

I am from India and you

Thanks sir 😊

i think jimmy has a little sugar in his tank too if you know what i mean.

Personally I think that the smaller the rocket the easier it is to use the fuel.

I want to make a 6 ft long 8 inch wide homemade rocket bad... I have been looking for for ways to make fuel, the footage from a go pro would be insane

Okay now i just need to know to how to attach explosives to the head

Wow
