    I don't always make rocket fuel, but when I do, I like to do it as close as possible to my living room. That way if anything goes energetically wrong, there's a very short distance to all the polyurethane foam in the couches to ignite.

    It's been said 1 million times already. My anxiety went through the roof watching you cook that inside. When I was a teen I was showing my older brother how to do this. I left him to mix it for about a minute. Come back and he is overly excited, saying "Look! If you turn up the heat it" *WOOF!* It turns into a pot of fire. We got lucky as all of the windows were open and I was able to toss it outside, then run out and sprayed it with the hose. Black soot everywhere, burn marks on the ceiling to the floor, broken screen, crying from burns on my arm....and probably the most well-earned beating by my grandmother. And it could have gone worse...

      I was cooking the same mixture outside when I was about 14. I looked over the pot at jussst the wrong moment, and it ignited and left me with huge red burn marks on my face. No lasting damage luckily because I got out of the way in time. Could have horribly mutilated myself though.

    My tips from personal experience:
    Use xylitol instead of sugar. Lower melting point and better performance as you avoid caramelisation
    Preheat your KNO3 to get rid of moisture.
    Roll up a thin tube of fuel in some paper to make a fuse. Coating a string in fuel can work but is much less reliable in my experience.
    Add red iron oxide (1%) - this improves burn rate

      ​@@baraka629 Disregard the concept of drying your potassium nitrate when close to the ocean. Instead, know that KNO3 is water soluble, as is sugar.
      Take your desired amounts of KNO3, and add warm water while stirring gently until dissolved.
      Do the same for your sugar.
      Take both the sugar solution and the nitrate solution, and mix them together in a single pan.
      Put the pan on a low heat, and bring it to a low boil. Because the solutions will merge under the raised heat of the water, you can keep the mix at low heat and they will become a single mix (solubility increases as the water temp increases). Continue towards low boil, stirring continuously. Initially under decent light your will notice crystalline patterns appearing on the top of the mix. This is ideal. Stir continuously as the mix continues losing water and becomes becomes a paste. Unlike typical rocket fuel mixes prepared on a stove: this mix should not darken very much. Beige is a reasonable hue.
      There is no reason at any point for your stove to exceed 150C during this altered process, drastically reducing your chances of combustion while cooking.
      If it begins to darken quickly or in spots: remove from heat immediately.
      If the mix is reduced to a beige paste: remove from heat and immediately pour in desired tube and compress, causing it to take shape.
      Air bubbles in your fuel = explosions in your takeoff.
      Up to 2% rust can be added to increase burn speed, although burn temperature and pressure will increase as well, causing additional strain on the rocket body and nozzle. Rust will turn the entire mix quite red, and should be added only when the paste is near complete.
      Up to 14% aluminium powder can be added in the place of rust. This will drastically increase burn speed and pressure, as well as heavily shorten burn time, although these fuels produce the greatest strain on a rocket system short of professional grade fuels like Ammonium Perchlorate. Aluminium will cause the mix to become somewhat grey, and should be added in the last minute before the mix is removed from the heat. Take extreme caution if using a stove with a flame, and be careful opening sealed containers of aluminium powder near heat sources: the ultra-fine powder is obscenely reactive when it feels like it, do not take chances with aluminium powder.
      Also do not neglect having a salt container, desiccant beads or even keeping silica packets where your mixtures are stored prior to usage. Keeping hygroscopic fuels dry is half the battle.
      If you're actually in gaza: use cardboard and clay bodied rockets en masse. You're being denied water currently due to siege, but the international narrative is you cannot be trusted with water pipes.
      They cannot forbid clay and paper. Use it to destroy the existing narrative. Also iron dome rockets cost more, and all wars are wars of attrition. Play accordingly.

    I've done this many times in my old rocket building days. Some tips. Get a portable electric stove and do this outside. A large frying pan is less work and is less prone to burning the sugar that a small deep casserole. For those who have never done this before two warnings!! 1) NOTHING is more painful than a liquid sugar burn on your skin. 2) Do not underestimate the power of your engine. They can go high, and they are fast. They can dis-lodge test stands.

    Few tips: Leave both ends open. Install the coring rod first (well greased), using some clay to hold it in place on the bottom end. This will form the nozzle later. THEN pour the mixture around it. Once the mixture has solidified, pull the rod out and close off the end with more clay. Gets you a more uniform and reliable rocket motor.

    If the sugar and the KNO3 were dilluted in water first, then this water is evaporated, the mix is more homogeneous thus the burning is better, and for make it more malleable and easy to pour in the tube, a small amount of corn syrup helps. Obviously, with a nozzle the power will be higher and the pressure achieved in the chamber will be substantially high. Regards!

You end up with a mixture that always has a bit of water left that eats up some of the power. I tried various polar and non polar solvents but never found anything better than water that dissolved both the sugar and the saltpeter

    Haha been there, done that. Like 20 years ago, great memories :D
    Some remarks:
    1. Don't use sugar. It's for noobs. You see the brown color? That is caramelization, we don't want that. Use sorbitol or some other sugar for diabetics. It does not caramelize, burns much better, less smoke and most importantly: Safety. It is much less likely to go off when smelting, you can heat it more and as it does not caramelize it is less viscous, easier pouring.
    2. Put in the rod for the bore before you pour your rocket fuel in. No work necessary at all ramming that rod through your almost solidified fuel.
    3. Do it outside. Don't do it in the living room omfg :D We did it in the garage and outside and still fucked up enough of our clothes or some plants when washing our equipment and too much kno3 landed somehwere...
    4. Wear at least minimum level of protective clothes, sandals are not good. I know as kids we were all experts after handling pyrotechniques for 3 weeks or more, but still it's worth it, especially if you show it in a tutorial on youtube.
    5. Use some kind of nozzle. You will be surprised how much faster and higher your rocket goes. Especially if you are already a pro igniting with electricity. Then you can easily ignite without damaging your nozzle. Back in our days we made the nozzle from cement, nowadays you can buy so much awesome stuff on ebay, like oven glue, oven cement and what not, that we just did not have 20 years ago. You can make awesome nozzles with that.

    My recommendations:
    - Add enough water to the nitrate/sugar mixture to cause the sugar to dissolve in the water, then heat it in a non-stick frying pan until the water is gone. This will ensure the best possible mixture of the two powders and reduce the possibility of it igniting while heating dry materials.
    - When you boil off the water, the resulting mixture will be hot and stiff so it isn't as easy to pour. If you let it cool, it will become hard and brittle. If you let it cool and harden, you can use a rock tumbler, some 10mm ball bearings, and pieces of the fully dried mixture that you break up with a hammer inside of a ziploc bag. You can pulverize it into a fine powder using the tumbler and BBs. The powder then packs very nicely ensuring there are no voids that would cause the engine to flare out and possibly explode.
    - If you choose the tumbler method, you can pack and core at the same time by drilling out a hole in a hardwood dowel that fits the core shaft, then just fill it with powder and tamp it down with the dowel.
    - If you don't want to use a long drill bit, you can cut the dowel into sections slightly shorter than the length of your longest bit, then drill out the center hole on a drill press (or by hand if you are steady), then put the dowels on the shaft and glue the sections back into one long piece.
    - You can plug the open end of the casing tube with a piece of wooden dowel and wood glue. Elmer's probond max wood glue is the best. Titebond is not bad either, but it's not as good as Elmer's. Tip: don't cut the plug, just glue a section of the dowel into the end of the tube and let it dry, then when you are done packing it you can use a saw to trim off the excess dowel. This way when you are packing it, you can clamp the dowel in a vise making it easy to work with.

    For all the young teens trying to figure out where to source the precursors, be very careful while making this. It is not stable as this video would have you believe. The process of heating is very dangerous and can reach flash point very easily. This will be a very sticky substance that will attach to your skin and continue burning.

    Use powdered sugar, blend the sugar/kno3 in a blender. Add a splash of water to the powder before heating, blend that as well, then add mixture to heat source. Adding the water will make the heating time go up, but it will be more consistent and easier to pour, you will also get less air pockets making for a more straight and consistent flight.

    I made this back before the internet was around, after reading about it in the anarchists handbook (distributed via BBS’s back in the day).
    Unfortunately because there was no video back then, it meant there was no way to know if you were doing the right thing.
    I tested a really small bit like he did, and it instantly exploded with a cloud of smoke. I thought “cool, I’ve made a smoke bomb”.
    I had the rest of the mixture set into a plastic medicine bottle, and took it to school (because of course that’s what you do when you are a stupid teenager).
    After lightning a slow burning fuse I’d made, I moved a distance away, but a huge group of students gathered around to see what the strange burning fuse was. I freaked out that I was about to blow up a group of kids, and my screaming to get away had no effect. Luckily it just spat out a stream of smoke and red flame.
    Although there’s a heap of negativity to this video, it’s quite helpful for the next generation of anarchists.

    Awesome video ! I would put a salute head on it for sure ! Do you also make whistle mix ( dangerous yes but insane !!) You need a press though for it ..The mixture itself is very dangerous to make but with causion and expertise it can be done 😅

    It is very easy for the mix to ignite and spray all over the place. Big mess plus damage and or injury. Do this outside on a portable hotplate. Wear face shield gloves an welding jacket

    Was hoping for an explosion of color or chute.
    Thanks for making this very informative video.
    After reading the comments I would try this outside.
