Anyone can start making their own motors and rockets with this book, even if you never made a rocket or rocket motor in your life. You don't need a college degree in chemistry or engineering to be successful with this bookset. This first half of the book tells you how to design and build a rocket motor while the last half tells you how to design and build a rocket for your motor. This book shows you how to design and build your rocket motor out of PVC pipe and fittings or aluminum cases. We give you the knowledge to design and build your own rocket motor for the thrust-time curve you want. The book shows you how to calculate the limits of your motor case and design a solid rocket motor that does not exceed those limits. The book also explains how to design a rocket that will be stable off the launch rod, even in high wind conditions. It also explains how to get an FAA waiver for your high power rockets so you are always flying legally.

International conspiracy funded by unimaginable wealth and influence detected and destroyed by one determined man operating on the edge of accountability.

This National Association of Rocketry handbook covers designing and building your first model rocket to launching and recovery techniques, and setting up a launch area for competition.

The book follows a unified approach to present the basic principles of rocket propulsion in concise and lucid form. This textbook comprises of ten chapters ranging from brief introduction and elements of rocket propulsion, aerothermodynamics to solid, liquid and hybrid propellant rocket engines with chapter on electrical propulsion. Worked out examples are also provided at the end of chapter for understanding uncertainty analysis. This book is designed and developed as an introductory text on the fundamental aspects of rocket propulsion for both undergraduate and graduate students. It is also aimed towards practicing engineers in the field of space engineering. This comprehensive guide also provides adequate problems for audience to understand intricate aspects of rocket propulsion enabling them to design and develop rocket engines for peaceful purposes.

Make: High-Power Rockets is for all the science geeks who look at the moon and try to figure out where Neil Armstrong walked, watch in awe as rockets lift off, and want to fly their own model rockets. Starting with an overview of mid- and high-power rocketry, readers will start out making rockets with F and G engines, and move on up to H engines.

This newly reissued debut book in the Rutgers University Press Classics Imprint is the story of the search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs who worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety. Acclaimed scientist and sci-fi author John Drury Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise which eventually took men to the moon, missiles to the planets, and satellites to outer space. A classic work in the history of science, and described as “a good book on rocket stuff…that’s a really fun one” by SpaceX founder Elon Musk, readers will want to get their hands on this influential classic, available for the first time in decades.

The degree project arises from the interest in hybrid rocket engines since it is a modern global technology among rocket engines, and has not been built or tested in Colombia. The main objective of the project is to design, build and test a Design, build and test a 250 N hybrid thrust rocket motor. For this, the motor was designed with paraffin as the solid fuel, and nitrous oxide as the liquid oxidant when designing a methodology for design, construction and testing. In the conceptual design stage, different input parameters were defined, in which the pressure of the combustion chamber was 290 psi, nozzle temperature of 2856 K, flight time of 5 seconds, specific impulse of 185 seconds, with which the different elements of the combustion chamber could be designed, including the nozzle. Additionally, the oxidant tank and the valves system were designed for their subsequent manufacture and purchase, respectively. At the same time, the electronic system was proposed in order to measure the thrust, pressure in the combustion chamber and temperature in the nozzle; and the UCAND-3 benching test was redesigned to carry out the experiments, which were planned with a sample of three fuel grains. However, it was found that the igniter did not burn completely in any test to make the reaction between fuel and oxidant be carried out satisfactorily because the burning surface area was not enough for the reaction to take place, so it is necessary to change the ignition system. However, both the hybrid rocket engine and the benching test are ready to be used in the near future.
