Water is like 95% oxygen. It's not oxygen which is needed. It's an oxidizer. Molecular oxygen is but not all molecules containing oxygen are.

thank you ! very informative and interesting video

When I was a kid, other kids, when disappointed about something would say, “oh sugar jets” and kick a rock or yank their hat down a little tighter as they slumped away.

I mixed the rocket fuel the same way you did which was 3 ounces of potassium nitrate to 1 ounce of powdered sugar and it will not light. This is not my first time doing this. My old ratio, which works great is 65 g of potassium nitrate to 35 g of powdered sugar and to make it a little bit more aggressive, you sprinkling about one or 2 g of iron oxide

If you put cane sugar in a blender your making powdered sugar without the cornstarch additive. Should add more umph.

69 call from diabetes to NASA

like a solid rocket booster

Where do you get the pyrodex powder from

This is a more simplistic version of the Hamas rockets

My doctor told me, lyme disease doesn't exist in Oregon.. I had two tick bites that went untreated. I now have severe joint problems in my knees, and feet. My doctor just flaked me off.😢

WHERE THE SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

question. Could you mix the ingredients with a small amount of water to make a paste, form and let dry and still have it work?

In the 60s we made rocket motors using sugar and saltpeter cooked int "Carmel candy" and poured into the motor casing to cool. The tricky part was heating it enough to melt, but not ignite, The melting point and ignition temperature were only about 50 degrees apart !

Awesome 👍 I got a rocket kit for my birthday about 20 years ago. My Dad and I made the rocket which consisted of a cardboard tube, some plastic fins, a wooden nose cone and a long stick to launch it. We even coloured it red and black with felt pens to match the fins. It had 3 small rocket motors and some electric matches to set them off. They were quite optimistic that it would fly 3 times, but the first time we set it off the rocket made a satisfying "whoosh" and then proceeded to spin out of control and landed in the woods at the far end of the field never to be seen again. Lol.

How to add a report to it? :) but really..

Is sugar rocket fuel just kno3 and sugar?

Oh boy more pvc shrapnel bomb videos.😢 PVC+Kn03= Very bad idea.

I've already tried to make my own fuse in the past, but i think the quality of a fuse is related with its ability to keep going in tiny space (oxygen consumption), if the fire on it goes out just at the entry hole of a firecracker, then bad is the fuse, to make it reliable and resistant to air pressure, i made it like a tube so that it does use the oxygen inside and works like a tiny rocket

Using corned blackpowder for fuse its not a good idea, it burns unstable, too fast and always want to go off. Other fuses are pretty much ok, but i would do some improvements.

KWITIS,rocket made in the Philippines 😊

Do I need to use clay or are there any alternatives

I've been launching 3D printed rockets with Estes F motors. I'm getting ready to try sugar fuel. This is the best video I have found on the topic. Good work.

Very cool I’m gonna try to make a big one my wife said I’m sleeping in the shed

Needs some gun powder in the top😁

What would need to be added to make a charge to deploy a chute?

Legit disclaimer. There is always one person. 😂😂😂

Great video. Is there a way to incorporate colour? Would be very cool

I wonder why you didn't used Nano₃ . I mean it have 56.4% mass of oxygen compared with Kno₃ with 48% mass of oxygen .

The video was informative, but there was no audio, silent video?! What was the reason for the silence? Curious

GET 5 TIMES THE ENERGY FROM THAT MIX. Water down the sugar/nitrate mix so you can simmer over low heat none stop for like 30 minutes (until it looks like peanut butter ). Remove from heat & either stuff it in tube let it set for days until dry OR let it set until completely dry, then crush to powder, then stuff the powder in the tube. Enough water so you can simmer at least 15 minutes straight at consistent temp. This allows the molecules to have a tighter bond. WATCH OUT, if you test some that's not crushed into a powder, because the chunks will fly like little rockets more than 20 feet, but the direction they go is random. I tested a little pile (the chunks were around half the size of a pea) they were shooting in all directions "dangerous"

Could we use the blender to mix as well? Maybe blend the stump killer first then add the powdered sugar and blend for another couple or few seconds?

Wondering what would happen if you use 1 1/2 “ pvc or even 2 inch light weight pipe? I’m kinda curious now.

i cant get my hands on potassiumn nitrate

Why can't you use the metric system like the REST of the world?

RIP Grant. #TKOR

this is a KOR copy

Excellent video

It must work good I don't have a blender lol😂

There's always one ingredient that's illegal here . That's some bullshit . Lol

This is super dangerous on cities because it can drop on to someones head

I usually hate these type videos... USE SUGAR WATER AND BABY POWDER TO MAKE XYZ!!! (Tannerite, or Thermite, or Rocket fuel,-- whatever) #1. Get half a pound of sugar. _CHECK_ #2. Get Baby Powder. _CHECK_ #3. Get medical grade Hypochlorite Oxidizer Unobtainium. _Ummmmm, WTF?_

50 years ago when I played with home made fireworks I made my own fuse. I slowed the burning rate of the blackpowder meal I made by mixing corn starch with it. I was trying to approximate dynamite fuse and through experimenting I managed to do that. I put it in a paper core and coated that with asphalt I dug out of the road in front of our house in hot weather and wrapped a layer of cloth around that, the lacquered that. It burned under water ok. I had a lot of accidents, burns, but never had serious injury. I was just lucky some of the time.

Cool! Thank you!

The hazards of homemade reactive/explosive compounds are Heat, Shock and Friction….. beware to all that imitate this hobby.

Whats the fire hazard risk with these once they land, low, medium, high? Or them starting a fire Anything to make fire risk less or zero?? Living in a dry hot country and don’t want to start a massive wildfire

Of course, it goes without saying that you recover the bits of plastic so that animals don't choke on them...and to keep the environment clean.

Your video was definitely the most enlightening! I love you man, I'm recently starting my channel here in Brazil, and the good part is that the materials are cheap here!

The gun powder formula is potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur Charcoal is everywhere at every utility store Potassium nitrate can be bought as "stump remover" Sulfur can be either homemade or bought To make it you will need a shit ton of matches and match boxes 1. Take the match heads and shave off the top not the wood just the top 2. Take the striker part of the match box and shave it down to a powder 3. Once you have them both in a powder grind them up even further and mix them together Have fun 😜

Damn dude are you in western Nebraska? It sure looks like the area I grew up in around McCook in SW Nebraska…. Just a guess brother! lol nice video bro🤙🏼

Some people use stomp removal to get rid of stomps. Some people burn the stomps. Why not have fun and add sugar to the process of stomp removal? Anybody tired that?
