- In this video me make some KNSB rocket propellant. Made with Sorbitol and another magical ingredient or two.
Please help support the channel on PATREON so I can continue making videos! / elementalmaker
Here is a source for Sorbitol: amzn.to/2DJ4sQe

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.
Comment pinned! HAHA BEST COMMENT YET
I have 45 lbs of xylitol, the magical "X" in ex-lax =P
@@DeliciousDeBlair That'll make decent rocket fuel as well. Whether or not the commode is involved.
Only if you eat quite a lot of it, it is in some chewing gums and low doses will have practically no effect whatsoever on most people.
Nope, only people with weak pathetic stomachs have issues from McDonalds or Taco Bell.@save the world exteminate all liberals
"Intestinal Exorcism" is the funniest way to describe
And yet also scarily accurate
exactly, this guy has me laughing through the entire video...lol
Yah, I'm sharing _that_ one with my sons. 😂
CZcams is a dingus. I love model rocketry, though I haven't done any in a good while (about 18 years), and the DIY stuff is awesome. CZcams needs to quit hating on this kind of content; it's informative, it's fun. Not to mention, it's a whole lot better than going out and spending what they want nowadays on a pack of Estes motors...
@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.
and generally people give good safety advice and instructions on YT. ever read some 'life hack' tips. geez.
@@km5405 Yeah, I hear ya. Some of those 'life hacks' are about as useful as a hole in yer head.
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. ;-)
DIABETES FREE ROCKETS? hell yeah
Wilford Brimley approves
'Sat there like a North Korean Missile' 12:45 Best line ever!
exactly, that had me cracking up ....lol
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 ❤️
Good to see this channel thrive.
I randomly viewed your channel yesterday and subbed immediately. I too am not into AvE's CNC vids right now. Keep up the excellent content!
Glad to have you on board!
you deserve the growth buddy. great channel and alot of work you've done to get it here! Keep it up guy!
Appreciate it Clay!
Love your videos! Always had a love for chemistry..you rock!
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.
Thanks Peter!
Only found your channel a couple of weeks ago and I’m hooked grate job
"Sugar Free" birthday cake gave me the worst cramps and insanely violent bowel movements, best for use in rockets!
Yessir! That stuff is brutal on the plumbing, both in your body and your house.
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.
Haha that's a wicked office prank!
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.
it is always fun coming to visit. I am no chemist but have always been fascinated by it. This was a blast fella !
Ave quit doing these kinds of videos. Hes doing strictly cnc right now. Not my cup of tea. So im digging ur Channel. Dont change!
Thanks Josh! I certainly don't plan to change ever. I do have a cnc, but haven't really done any videos on it. I'll leave that stuff to NYC CNC
@@ElementalMaker I would watch a video of yours on CNC
@@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
@@ElementalMaker Ahh, well, once you get better maybe. CZcams is a good place to learn, because people point out your mistakes.
@@sugarbooty very true. I'm sure we have a few machinists who watch the channel and could hopefully chime in.
This is so cool 😃😃😃😃
My boy is going to love this!
Dude I love your channel. Always surprised that your channel hasn’t blown up yet. 300 a day is not bad!
Yeah I'm excited to see it getting some traction! Glad your enjoying the channel!
Too funny, you got a great sense of humor bro, i'm chuckling all through the vid..., well done!
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for checking out my channel
I watched this because the carpet guys left me a couple of huge 4" x 12' tubes, thought to myself; Now these would make a nice rocket. Great Video!
Man your vids are informative and funny as hell 👍🏼 you have just earned your self a new sub 😊👍🏼
Thanks!
That non-co-centric rocket core helped direct the thrust through the center of mass, no wonder your landing trajectory was so good!
Thank you for making this vid my rockets were suffering from diabetes. They now have much more samina to go farther!!
Another great entertaining video. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Nothing better than watching elemental maker make rocket engines on a Sunday morning. Good morning my friend. This is better than cartoons.
Thanks Jeff! Glad you enjoyed!
Just went on a bit of a review read on amazon.. i now have a headache and am sweating from intense laughter. 100% worth it.
Haha it's a great page to hit when you need a laugh
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!
At least your man enough to show the accidental endburner you lit .
Love your vids!! Keep up the pimpin
And holy crap you guys have been doing a lot of coming!
Nice job!
Keep em comin so to speak love your presentation style!
Thanks Steve! More stuff always in the works.
I like the setup you made to form the nozzle. 👍
I would love to be your neighbor and bother you often. You are hilarious and good natured!
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!
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?
very educational, im so glad ive been here for a few months great thing youre picking up traction, set up a patreon to fund your projects!
I do have a patreon now. About to break 20 patrons!
@@ElementalMaker you should put a link at the top of the description, otherwise people won't find it easily
Great Videos. Awesome projects for grown ups 👍
Thanks for helping bro
Your commentary is awesome
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!
Brilliant I love these videos. Take it easy.
Thank you!
This was a lot of fun. I like rockets. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching Elaine!
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?
Very well said!!! This guy's funny as hell too!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great vid bro
CZcams thinks i already watched some of this while i was sleeping...so i thought i better actually have a look.
I hope you enjoyed!
Always good come. LOL cool Rocket motors
CZcams kind of hates you? Crap! That's screwed up! I like your productions and I hope to see many more of them!
Love the "Used" sticks and launch site! Kinda surprised that thing lifted the used stump of a stick!
If this were grainulated do you think be usable for an improvised gun powder?
Greetings mate.....
Blender V2. 0......😉. Thx for another quality upload mate👍
the AVE of rockets. im in love
Good stuff
brilliant.. another subscriber.
Thanks for your sub! 👍
Yes a new vid!
Hi ElementalMaker, and thanks for the excellent video. Very informative. Out of curiosity, where would one go about finding a set of those tamping and forming tools that you had there?
There's a company online called Woodys that sells similar kits to what I machined there. They probably are pretty expensive, but worth the good fun if you use them regularly.
@@ElementalMaker Thank you! :)
Very cool man. Do you have another video you could link to about adding a delay and ejection charge?
KNO3 is also good mixed with the right drain cleaner for a poor mans nitric acid, fun for science experiments such as making nitrocellulose .
Love this channel, voice and setup looks like AvE which is another channel I love, but with more chill subjects
Thank you Johnny! Glad your enjoying!
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?
I've been experimenting with NH4NO3 and NH4ClO4 based composite rockets quite bit lately. I'll do a video soon!
@@ElementalMaker make some propellant using some dollar store h2o2.. you can concentrate it to 90% apparently.
@@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.
I love the wax idea. I actually had some wax get mixed in with some black powder I had made up amd it burned like the 4th kf July snakes they sell.
My left ear enjoyed this
Good, your right ear didn't deserve to hear.
"It sat there like a north Korean missile on the launch pad" 😂😂😂😂
I don't have access to a lathe or really any machining tools at all. What's the best way to do this without the custom tools you've made for this purpose, such that there will be a conical nozzle?
It's also an interesting question of where to buy black powder.
Sorry can someone explain the differences with the core that the previous can't fly but the next one can fly? Same ingredient but different holes? Thanks
Love your work always good videos your rite CZcams hates you I have been subscribed for about a year and only ever got one notification they have the same issue with Cody's lab and Nile red think it might have something to do with magical potassium air keep doing you though bud and greetings from Australia
Potassium based oxygen is potassium nitrate or KNO3
for the one person who doen't know haha
I have KNO3W Idea what your talking about.
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.
@@LukeFoley21 you make metal tubes for the rockets, that sounds really dangerous.
Reloadable metal casing rocket motors are actually quite common in the high powered rocketry classes. I have a few myself that work beautifully.
@@ElementalMaker still deadly if you plug the hole to tight and pressure builds up isn't it?
Ur videos are like “Ave” meets “Patrick Warbuton”. Keep up the great work, if u please, Sire”!
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
The test turd. I love it
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!
Thank you Sean! Glad your enjoying!
@@ElementalMaker I got a response from the man! I feel like I'm running with the cool crowd!
Lol
@@SeanTHirsch I try my best to reply to every comment made on my channel 👍. It's starting to get a bit difficult, but I'm still giving it my best!
Can you by adding more iron oxide make metal in the rocket or would that become more explosive
Where did you get those paper tubes for the motors? I have not been able to find them anywhere.
I have a link in the description 👍
Love the mega sparking regular steel hammer
It is non sparking when there's no other steel to hit with it 👍
where you get or make the nozzle alum ram rod and die?
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.
Are the tubes you use and the ingredients for the nozzle available on Amazon?
nah I bought them years ago from "phils general store" ihaveadotcom.com/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=72_118 He's a great guy who has the best tubes in the business.
What is the difference in price's of sorbitol and powdered sugar? And is their a measurable difference in the propulsion and distance from either?
Powdered sugar is way cheaper, but the lower melting point and easier workability of the sorbitol based propellant far outweighs the extra cost imo. Impulse is pretty similar from data I was able to find
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.
What would powered aluminum do for the burn?
@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.
Where can I get a drawing of your engine jig you used? I would love to make one
F*** yeah! science!
good job!! congrat!! plz, at 5min40, is it possible to have the dimensions of the aluminum nozzle mold? height? width? diameter? thanks guys!
What fuel is better, kno3+sorbitol or kno3+sugar?
Got any specs on that jig, seems like an awesome build project.
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.
how is sorbitol (like erethrite) no sugar? ok its an alcohol but i really expected something more "wicked". like magnesiumpowder or some new superingredient...
Hi, how do you clean the pan after you are done? Thanks
I just use some water and paper towels. I wouldn't use it for food afterwards though. I bought a cheap griddle from Walmart to exclusively make rocket propellant
Is there any risk of adding air pockets into the fuel when you fold it around in your hands like that?
Great 👍
Let's all talk like this,
Hydric acid, potassium/ammonium based oxygen, water based oxygen etc...
Good against youtube
Is you and AvE the same person? You have sort of a similar voice..
@@damien639 i hope you mean elementar maker and ave and not tcw and ave, my voice is very very different from everything
@@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.
@@damien639 same species no doubt
Chlorine based fluorine
could you use a double boiler to melt it?
Nice!
Your voice sounds a ton like my friend. We were neighbors in Logan ut for a few years. Awesome guy.
Well if he has my voice he must be a pretty cool dude. LOL
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.
Could you do a quick video on that rocket tool you made?
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!
Him: so we need potasium based oxigien.
Me: Fuck it im giving up.
the title suggest me space travel on a diet !
I come for the science and stay for the humor!
Thanks Renzo!
