@save the world exteminate all liberals nah, it isnt youtube per say, but the companies that pay the ads for youtube. They dont want an informed and questioning public, thus they clam down on science channels. Nothing to do with weaponry. Btw, what is an Estes motor?
@@theterribleanimator1793 estes motors use a core of pressed black powder. When I was a kid I used to buy a bunch of them, unroll the paper casing and remove the black powder grain and crush it up to get granulated BP; then do the usual stuff a young boy will do haha.
Much agreed Chozo. These are the kinds of projects that get people interested in chemistry and engineering and the censorship of them leads to our intellectual downfall as a whole because then we get 90% of the population going for liberal arts degrees.
Thank you. As a diabetic, I prefer the sugar free alternatives. Now I want to see you make an insulin based fire suppression system for this rocket engine. ;-)
Try Xylitol. Its molecular formula is C5H12O5, Its molecular weight is 152.15g. Xylitol's melting point is 93- 95C (199-203F). Interesting, the molecule is smaller than that of even sorbitol. 👍 Best of luck ❤️
@@sugarbooty thanks, but to be honest I built the cnc machine, but can't program cam paths in g code to save my life. It would be a shit show of a video
Always enjoy the knowledge gained. But the delivery absolutely kills me (LMFAO). Had to watch tis like 3 times. Glad your channel's growing the way it is. Keep up the great work.
Love those sweets, especially at work when people come snaffle a half dozen of them from the drawer. Half hour later you know where to find them. Still want to buy the Haribo sugar free, but the sugar free cans I buy are nice, plus they also have a nice collection of sugar free glazed candies, nuts and nougat as well, all good for that full cleansing action if you eat too much.
ElementalMaker Somebody on my job was stealing people's lunch. One guy had enough and set up a decoy sandwich with shaved Exlax. Interesting...to say the least. Funnier than hell to say the most.
How about using "ammonium based oxygen" with some added aluminum powder instead of the potassium compound? Also, could you use paraffin wax instead of sugar for a formulation that won't absorb atmospheric moisture?
@@retiredshitposter1062 If you're talking about evaporative concentration, 75% is more realistic, with 85% being the theoretical maximum (it's the azeotropic concentration around room temp). On top of that, peroxide is much harder to use for rockets, requiring a liquid fuel or hybrid design. If you create a fuel-peroxide mixture (or compound), you're gonna have a bad time. I'd like to see some experiments with a hybrid aluminum/~60%H2O2 rocket.
@@retiredshitposter1062 75% H2O2 is dangerous enough to call it a deamon, if you drop a piece of hair in 90% H2O2, things will go kaboom and splash a bunch of H2O2 onto your face, BTW, 90% H2O2 can melt your skin and flesh easily.
Heck, all these newbies are because AvE, although funny, is doing something a lot of us arent enjoying like we used to. That and you made ruby's so you rock!
Going back to the roots of this channel with this video :). I'm loving all the subs. But at the same time it makes us regular followers, since u were just a small timer, feel like we'll lose touch. Oh how bitter sweet!
@@TheChemicalWorkshop I mean whoever is speaking in this vid. And I surely don't mean to offend. I like both of you and AvE is also from the great north (of canukistan). I'm from the other great north (of swedistan) and I might just get you guys mixed up, but you sound like you're from the same place and you're setup is sort of the same, and you're both great, so I figured it might be the same guy with different channels ey.
Regarding the core. I think you could get even more power with an star shaped core like the old shuttle SRBs had because of an even greater inner surface area. What do you think? Worth a try?
ElementalMaker anytime you need some CNC turned nozzles let me know. We have a CNC machine shop and make sugar rockets occasionally just for fun. We make the tubes from 2024 aluminum and thread both ends. Nice plug on one end and 7075 nozzle on the other. It works surprisingly well for nozzles. Bates grains inside paper housings work great with this setup.
When I was 16 I used a pie pan and hot plate and a half pound ignited on me and burnt my arm good, burned holes in my pants and burned my ankle. I was smoking as I ran away from it. I learned the hard way.
Very nice. I always love seeing new stuff from you. Could you go over making some ejection charges? I mean you gave enough info for me to be able to look it up but I would much rather watch you explain and demo the process. You make rocket science fun. :-)
Yeah I will do some in the future with ejection charges. I'll put together some CAD models so you can visualize the inside of them as well. Glad your enjoying!
Make an electrical igniter with speaker wire. Cut all of the strands leaving around three. Twist together. The way your mould looks the hole goes to the top of the motor. Slide the igniter to the top of the motor. When it burns, it will build pressure as it works it's way to the nozzle.
What about some polymer based ones? I imagine polyalkenes like polypropylene or polyethylene would burn quite well. Or styrene-based ones like ABS or plain old Polystyrene, they could be potentially easier to mix with the oxidizer because you can simply dissolve them.
I guess that turd must have been crapped by someone holy indeed :)) Had to pauze the video at the Korean Missile reference, was laughing too hard to keep watching... XD
When I was a kid I'd mow and trim lawns for $1/hour (kinda exploited) to buy potassium nitrate from the drugstore (crazy over-priced) to make black powder and sugar rockets and smoke bombs and whatnot. Now I can easily afford to buy potassium nitrate and sorbitol etc. in 50lb bags. I wish I could send the chemicals or money to back my kid self--it's fun now working with neighbor kids building stuff, but it would have been a lot more fun back then.
Too funny, I often think the same thing "Man If I could have had X or Y source for potassium nitrate back when I was 12". God it would have been fun assuming I came out with all my fingers intact
I'm just getting back into this after 30+ years! I used to always buy the overpriced Estes engines. I'm going to try your method here as soon as I can get some sorbitol. I really appreciate these videos (Although I've only watched this one)!
Very cool you are getting back into it. Stay safe, and don't forget your motors will also need an ejection charge to pop the parachute. It adds a little complexity to making you own motors, but is still very easy to do. Have fun and be safe!
I only have one problem with sugar rocket, Hygroscopicity. So after sugar rocket cooldown, you must quickly store it in air tight container with strong dessicant like calcium chloride. You also have limited time to assembly it especially when air humidity is high. Because sugar rocket will absorb water vapour and become wet. It's why estes choosing black powder for light to medium model rocket, it's still reliable even air humidity is high, don't require calcium chloride, easier cast and more safe to produce
I was watching a video of this guy (like an 17yo kid) that made an entire pie tin of "candy fuel" then ignited it on his kitchen counter and nearly burned his house down. it's nice to see someone with the ability to think clearly handling "candy fuel"
Holy crap hes very lucky indeed. I always keep my batches small and check the griddle thermometer with my infrared. I never trust the dial thermostat on the griddle. I also keep fire extinguishers nearby, not that they would extinguish the propellant, but if the propellant went up and caught anything else on fire I'd be ready.
I think you're popular because you're basically AvE, but doing different things. Different things, mind you, I've never seen anywhere else on youtube and are extremely cool, which is why I subbed.
I just took a dump that was like an light and airy like an aero bar. And after wiping, I had to extract yet a additional poo. And after wiping again, I then realized it was time to take another dump. There was alot of wiping involved, alot of smears. There goes a good half a roll of toilet paper. It was like working with a brown pastel, ever so careful not to let any of it touch the fingers.The aero bar consistency had alot of flavinoids, pungent.
I went on a diet a few years ago and part of the change is I went to diet pop. I plowed through a 12 pack of diet pop in a couple days. Then I started cramping and blasting my ass off (terrible smell) I didn't know what was causing the issue so I kept gulping that diet pop for another week before I figured out it was the cause. I almost went to the hospital after a couple days because I thought I was going to die. I have never drank diet since then.
Judging from the color of the flame it is a nitrate, possibly of sodium, as a more energetic (and far less hygroscopic) K-chlorate or perchlorate would give a more purple colored flame.
ElementalMaker : Dude, I missed this one up until now because TY didn't let me know it existed. I hit the bell icon a minute ago, so maybe that's fixed now?

I am working on something right now that you as an IT professional will probably be interested in: an Arduino based thrust test stand so we can actually get some data on the rocket engines, and then mess with variables such as nozzle diameter and burn rate catalysts to see how they change the burn parameters of the motors.

@@theITGuy-no3nt I actually found another guy who did the same project and posted his code, so I'm utilizing that for the project. Working a treat so far! I'll post a link to his page when I get the video up
Newcomer here! Does reducing down the sorbitol and KNO3 change the way it burns or does it just make it easier to handle? I was wondering about the possibility of air pockets if it's not packed correctly and so maybe reduce it down less. Maybe just enough that it turns to a viscous liquid like brownie batter and could pour out so it would pack better?
@@theterribleanimator1793 I believe you are correct. If I also remember correctly selenium poisoning makes you have a strong garlic taste in your mouth.
@ElementalMaker Candy Propellant is quite safe to work with. Not so lang ago I saw a video where someone tested what would happen if you left it on the hotplate. It just burned to black crisps and nothing more. Of course, care should always be the first priority when working with Propellant. Or anything, that likes to make a hot mess near your face.
I've also got first-hand experience of sorbitol (not the infamous gummy bears, though). I REALLY wish I had read the label, because he wasn't kidding about the intestinal exorcism part.
btw, sorbitol based fuel burns much slower than sucrose fuel which means that you will have to make the nozzle smaller to get the thrust that it is capable of giving(which is less than that of KNSU)
He's not kidding about sorbitol causing the shits. I ate a bunch of popsicles I didn't know were sorbitol based once. I almost needed hold down clamps on the toilet to keep my ass from going suborbital. Luckily my toilet has its own built in water sound suppression system, just like pad 39a at Kennedy.

Strikes me that the physical setup (bench, stand, tie-downs, -> sensors
@@theITGuy-no3nt I actually found another guy who did the same project and posted his code, so I'm utilizing that for the project. Working a treat so far! I'll post a link to his page when I get the video up
Newcomer here! Does reducing down the sorbitol and KNO3 change the way it burns or does it just make it easier to handle? I was wondering about the possibility of air pockets if it's not packed correctly and so maybe reduce it down less. Maybe just enough that it turns to a viscous liquid like brownie batter and could pour out so it would pack better?
How does it compare?
Try different ones side by side to see which is best
Try adding aluminium powder, selenium, caesium, bismuth.
Excellent ideas!
Isnt selenium really toxic or something?
@@theterribleanimator1793 I believe you are correct. If I also remember correctly selenium poisoning makes you have a strong garlic taste in your mouth.
Iodine, barium ?
@@rogerc7960 man you just want to see my poison myself don't you? LOL
funny and educational
Thanks!
good job!! congrat!! plz, at 5min40, is it possible to have the dimensions of the aluminum nozzle mold? height? width? diameter? thanks guys!
You've got too much time on your hands...getting up to mischief...good man.
Great Videos. Awesome projects for grown ups 👍
@ElementalMaker Candy Propellant is quite safe to work with. Not so lang ago I saw a video where someone tested what would happen if you left it on the hotplate. It just burned to black crisps and nothing more.
Of course, care should always be the first priority when working with Propellant. Or anything, that likes to make a hot mess near your face.
Because this America, that's why, thank you 🤣
The test turd. I love it
You can buy the magical potassium based oxygen is purchasable at Lowe's or home depot as stump remover.
Boiling hot here mate!! Simply lovely crystals growing in the pan!
Was that the left over 'Turd' at the end?
Left over propellant. I made more than could fit in the motor housing
You don't need to google it. Just type "la beast gummy bears" into youtube and click on the first video. Have a good day!
I've also got first-hand experience of sorbitol (not the infamous gummy bears, though). I REALLY wish I had read the label, because he wasn't kidding about the intestinal exorcism part.
Yes a new vid!
Man your vids are informative and funny as hell 👍🏼 you have just earned your self a new sub 😊👍🏼
Thanks!
I was watching and totally wondering why you didn’t put it on your core rod 😄👍
I come for the science and stay for the humor!
Thanks Renzo!
You kinda sound like Pumat Sol. Which is, of course, a compliment.
I genuinely have no idea who that is, but thanks 👍
btw, sorbitol based fuel burns much slower than sucrose fuel which means that you will have to make the nozzle smaller to get the thrust that it is capable of giving(which is less than that of KNSU)
Yeah I'm going to change up the tooling I made for a more narrow nozzle throat diameter. Ill step it down to 1/4" and see how that goes.
